This is a digital copy of a book that was preserved for generations on Hbrary shelves before it was carefully scanned by Google as part of a project
to make the world's books discoverable online.
It has survived long enough for the copyright to expire and the book to enter the public domain. A public domain book is one that was never subject
to copyright or whose legal copyright term has expired. Whether a book is in the public domain may vary country to country. Public domain books
are our gateways to the past, representing a wealth of history, culture and knowledge that's often difficult to discover.
Marks, notations and other maiginalia present in the original volume will appear in this file - a reminder of this book's long journey from the
publisher to a library and finally to you.

Whbrbas. It appeani very necessary, in order to avert the
evils and calamities vrhich threaten our devoted Country, to
embody ourselves and make all the military preparations in our
power, and it appears absolutely impossible to carry this laud-
able design into execution, without observing^ the g^reatest
order, harmon} and concord, not only under the laws of civil
Government, but also while under arms and on actual duty.
We, therefore, unanimously recommend the following Asso-
ciation to be entered into by the good people of this County :
'*We, the subscribers, do most solemnly resolve, promise
and engage, under the sacred ties of honor, virtue and love to
our Country, that we will use our utmost endeavours to learn
the military exercise, and promote harmony and unanimity
in our respective Companies ; that we will strictly adhere to
the rules of decency during duty ; that we will pay a due re-
gard to our Officers; that we will, when called upon, support
with our utmost abilities the civil Magistrate in the execution
of the laws for the good of our country, and that we will at
all times be in readiness to defend the lives, liberties and pro-
perties of ourselves and fellow-countrymen against all attempts
to deprive nsof them."
Information being lodged with this Committee that William
Moore, Esq. , has expressed himself in terms inimical to the
lil>ertiesof America, and derogatory to the Continental Con-
gress, and as a special Committee is now appointed to examine
into the affair, the public are desired to suspend their judg-
ment until Mr. Moore has had an opportunity to exculpate
himself from the charge, or make oroper acknowledgment to.

Whrrbas, Some persons, evidently inimical to the liberty
of America have industriously propagated a report, *'That the
Military Associators of this County, in conjunction with the
Associators in general, intend to overturn the Constitution, by
declaring an independency, in the execution of which they are
to be aided by this Committee, and the Board of Commis-
sioners and Assessors, with the arms now making for this
County :*^ and as such report could not originate but among
the worst of men, for the worst of purposes, this Committee
have therefore thought proper to declare, and they do hereby
declare their abhorrence even of an idea so pernicious in its
nature, as they ardently wish for nothing more than a happy
and speedy reconciliation, on constitutional principles, with
that State from whom they derive their origin.
By order of the Committee.

PROCEEDINGS OF COMMITTEE.
Newtown, January 16, 1775.
A large majority of the Cpmmittee chosen in said County,
on the 15th of December last, in pursuance of notice for that
purpose given, this day assembled in said town, and unani-
mously choose
John Hart, Esq. , Chairman, and
John Chapman, Clerk.
The Committee then taking into consideration the measures
recommended by the Continental Congress, for the redress of
American Grievances, entered into the following Resolves,
unanimously :
1st. That we highly approve of the pacifick measures re-
commended by the Continental Congress, for the redress of
American Grievances, and do hereby render our unfeigned
thanks to the worthy gentlemen who composed that august
assembly, for tlie faithful discharge of the trust reposed in
them.
344 ASSOCIATED BATTALIONS
2d. That we hold ourselves bound, in justice to ouraelvea,
our prosperity, our King, and our country, strictly to observe
and keep the Association of said Congress, especially as it is
recommended to us by the united voice of our Representatives,
in Assembly, and, as a Committee, will use our utmost en-
deavors to have it carried into execution.
3d. That we hold it our bounded duty, both as Christians
and as countrymen, to contribute towards the relief and sap-
\>ort of the poor inhabitants of the Town of Boston, now saffer-
ing in the general cause of all the Colonies; and we do hereby
recommend the raising of a sum of money for that purpose,
to every inhabitant or taxable in this County, as soon as pos-
sible.
The Committee then taking into consideration a late Resolve
of tiie Committee of the City of Philadelphia, setting forth
an absolute necessity that the Committees of the counties of
this Province, or their Deputies, be requested to meet together
in Provincial Convention, on the 23d day of January, instant,
cannot conceive, from any information we have had, the ne-
cessity of such Provincial Convention, or that any good effects
can be produced thereby, towards carrying into execution the
Association so clearly pointed out to us by the Continental
Congress.
Voted, That Joseph Hart, John Wilkinson, Henry Wynkoop,
Joseph Watson, and John Chapman, or any three of them, be
a Committee of Correspondence, and that Henry Wynkoop
be Treasurer, to receive such charitable donations as may be
collected, in pursuance with the third Resolve of this Com-
mittee.
John Chapman, Clerk.
In Committkk, May%^ 1775.
At a meeting of the Committee of the County of Bucks, held
this day at the house of Richard Deedom,
Resolx^d unanimoitsly^ That notwithstanding the disappro-
bation we have hitherto shown to the prosecution of any vio-
lent measures or opi)osition, arising from the hopes and ex-
pectations that the humanity, justice, and magnanimity of
the British Nation would not fail of affording us relief; being
now convinced that all our most dutiful applications have
hitherto been fruitless and vain ; and that attempts are now
making to carry the oppressive Acts of Parliament into exe-
cution by military force, we do therefore earnestly recom-
mend to the people of this County to form themselves into A»-
AND MILITIA OF THE REVOLUTION. 24r,
sociationH in their respective Town8hip8, to improve theui-
selvesin the military art. that they may be rendered capable
of affording^ their Country that aid which its particular ne-
cessities may at any time require.
Joseph Hart, John Kidd, Joseph Kirkbride, James Wallace,
and Henry Wynkoop, or any three of tliem, are appointed as
Delegates to meet in Provincial Convention, if any should be
found necessary.
The Committee request all i>ersons who have take subscrip-
tions for the relief of the poor of Host on, fts soon as |X)ssible to
collect and pay the same into the hands of the Treasurer, Henry
Wynkoop, that it may be speedily applied towards the benev-
olent purpose for which it was intended; and at the same
time, to §:ive those who have not subscribed an opportunity to
contribute also.
By order of the Committee :
Henry Wynkoop, Clerk pro tern.
In Committee, July 2i, 1775.
Complaints bein^; made by several officers of the Associatetl
Companies, that sundry |)ersons from various causes had at-
tempted to raise second companies, in their townshipis,
whereby those already associated were weakened, and in some
instances had been greatly insulted.
The Committee having consitlered the same, are of opinion,
that as harmony and unanimity are essentially necessary in
prosecuting the present unhappy contest, and as Field-Offlcers
are now appointed for the respective Battalions of the County
no second Companies ought to be raised in any Township, with-
out leave being first obtained from them for that purpose.
Whereas, several persons who were chosen members of this
Committee in December last, have hitherto neglected to attend
the same, and others who have attemied. have, from scruples of
conscience, made application to be discharged, the Committee
therefore requests all those who do not purpose attending for
the future to advertise their respective Townships with their
determination, at the same time appointing some convenient
time and place for the inhabitants to meet, and choose other
suitable persons in their room, who are desired to meet the
Committee on Monday, the 2l8t of August, at the house of
John Bogart, in Buckingham Township.
By order of the Committee :
Henry Wynkoop, Clerk,

Whkrkas, The Committee of Safety appointed by the As-
sembly of PeiinHvlvania, have requested the Committees of
the Several Counties in this Province to make a return to
them of all the Officers of the Military Association, in order
that Commissions may be made out for them ag^reeably to a
late resolve of the Continental Congress; and as the several
Committees are also requested to make a return of the num-
ber of t\ui Assooiators, and also of the Non-Associators within
their respective Districts: The Special Committees of this
County do therefore request the Colonels of the several Bat-
talions to furnish the Committee, at their next general meet-
ing, to be held at the house of John Bogart, in the Township
of Buckingham, the 21st instant, with lists of all the OiBoers
within their Districts. And the several Captains are also re-
quested to furnish the Committee, at the same time, with
exact Jists of Associators and Non-Associators within their
respective Townships.

WuKRRAS, 1 have spoken injuriously of the distressed peo-
ple of the Town of Boston, and disrespectfully of the measures
prosecuting for the redress of American grievances: I do
hereby declare that I am heartily sorry for what I have done,
voluntarily renouncing my former principles, and promise^ for
the future, to render my conduct unexceptionably to my
countrymen, by strictly adhering to the measures of the Con-
gress.

In Committbk, September 11, 1775.
Thomas Smith, appeared before the Committee, voluntarily,
executed the following acknowledgement and declaration,
viz :
"As I have V)een charged before the Committee for having
uttered expressions derogatory to the Continental Congress,
Invidious to a particular denomination of Christians, and tend-
ing to imped*^ the opposition of my countrymen to Ministerial
oppression, I do hereby declare myself heartily sorry for my
AND MILITIA OF THK REVOLUTION. 347
impradent expretwions, and do nincerely promise for the future
to eoincide with every measure prosecuted for the redress of
American grievances, so far as is consistent with the religious
principles of the society to whicli I belong.**
Thomas Smith.
Voted, that tliin be considered as a sufficient satisfaction for
his misconduct.
Tlie Members of the Committee are desired to be particular
in their attendance at the liouse of John Bogart, tlie dth of
October, at ten oclock in the morning.
By order of the Committee :

In Committrr, December 28, 1775.
This Committee, desirous as much as possible to prevent
«)very species of imposition ^ and extortion, which designing
persons, prompted by a sordid attachment to self-interest, and
the present scarcity of sundry articles of goods, may be tempted
to commit, have directed the republication of tlie Ninth Arti-
cle of the Continental Association; and all shop-keepers, and
other retailers of goods, are requested to be particularly at-
tentive thereto, as a wilful violation thereof will necessarily
incur the penalties recommended in this and the Eleventh arti-
cle of said Association.
Ninth Article. '* Such as are venders of goods or merchandise,
will n<>t take advantage of the scarcity of goods that may be
occasioned by this Association, but will sell the same at the
rates we have been respectively accustomed to do for twelve
months last past. And if any vender of goods or merchandise
shall sell any such goods on higher terms, or shall, in any man-
ner, or by any device whatsoever, violate or depart from this
agreement, no person ought, nor will any of us deal with any
such person, or his or her factor or agent, at any time there-
after, for any commodity whatsoever. "

In Committkk, January 21, 1770.
The Committee of Safety of this Province have lately pub-
lished a process for making Saltpetre, with a view to induce
the inhabitants of this Colony to set about the work ; but, as
no description, however exact, can so fully answer the pur-
248 ASSOCIATED BATTALIONS
|K>se of instraotion as an actual exhibition of the process, this
Committee, at the request of the Committee of Safety, hath
api>ointed James Wallace, Andrew Kichlein, and Joseph Fen-
ton, Jun., to attend the Saltpetre Works in Philadelphia, so
as to obtain a competent knowledge of tlie method practiced
at the Saltpetre Works there, that they may be qaalified to
exhibit the process to such persons as are desirous of being
useful to their country, by entering into the manufacture of
that useful and necessary commodity ; and James Wallace, is,
also, appointed to receive all the Saltpetre that shall be made
in this county, who will be furnished with Powder, to pay, in
that article, one- fourth part the value of the Saltpetre, and
the rest of the price will be punctually paid in cash by Mr.
Wallace.
By order of the Committee :
JosBPH Hart, Chairman,
In Committee, February 27, 1778.
The following petition was directed to be sent to the General
Assembly, viz:
To the Honourable the Representatives of the Freeman ofth% Pro-
vince of Penntiylvania in General Assembly met :
The l^etition of the Committee of Inspection for the County
of Bucks, hum)>ly sheweth:
That, as a gent^ral uneasiness prevails among the Associators
in this County, on account of the late Military Resolutions of
this honourable House, and many persons have signed them
under a full persuasion that amendments would be made
therein ; and as there are many able bodied men, between the
age of fifty and sixty years, possessed of large estates, who are
entirely exempt from military duty and experience, your peti-
tioners, therefore, humbly pray that the Association may be
extended to the age of sixty.
And as the tax upon the non- Associators is considered an
equivalent for personal services, and the Associators have no
compensation for their arms and accoutrements, not to men-
tion the dangers they will be ex{K>sed to when called into
actual service, your petitioners pray that an additional tax
be laid upon the estates of non- Associators proportionate to
the expenses of the Associators, necessarily incurred for the
general defence of property.
And, as, by marching whole battalions, or companies of
Militia, large tracts of country will be left destitute of men.
AND MILITIA OP THE REVOLUTION. 24i)
except those who either hold all resistance unlawfal, or bucIi
as are disaffected to tlie present measures, your petitioners,
therefore, l>e§: leave to submit it to tlie consideration of the
House, whether it would not be better to direct the Colonels
to draft from their battalions such number as shall, from time
to time, be requisite, thereby affording an opportunity for
those whose circumstances will not always admit their goini:,
to get volunteers in their stead, and, at the same time, leav-
ing sufficient force in every [lart of the country to quell any
local insurrections.
All wtiich your petitioners humbly pray may be taken into
the consideration of the House, and such an>endments made
yoQ, in your wisdom, shall see meet.
Per order of the Committee :
JosKPH Hart, Chairman.
In Committkk, 3Iay22, 1776.
Resolved^ That the inhabitants of those Townships in this
County who have not already elected persons to take up the
Arms of Non-Associators, agreeably to the late resolve of the
Assembly of this Province, be requested to meet on Saturday,
the 8th of June next, and choose three persons for that purpose
and that the members of this Board who inhabit in such
Townships will advertise this resolve at some of the most pub-
lick places in their Townships, with the hour and place of meet-
ing; and it is recommended that the persons who shall be so
chosen, together with those chosen already, join in their Dis-
tricts, to execute the said resolve of Assembly, in the follow-
ing order, viz: Bristol, Falls, Middletown, Newtown, Lower-
Makefield, Upper- Makefield, Milford, Haycock, Richland, Ben-
salem, Southampton, Northampton, Wrightstown, Buckin-;-
ham, Solesbury, New-Britain, Rockhill, Hilltown, Warminster,

By order of the Committee :
JosKPii Hart, Chairman.
In Committkk, June 10, 1776.
Grntlrman: Your favor of the 2l8t of May was duly de-
livered to us by Messrs. Jones and Watkins, in which you were
pleased to recommend to us to choose a certain number out of
our Committee to meet Deputies from the other County Com-
mittees of this Province on the IStli instant, in Provincial Con-
250 ASSOCIATED BATTALIONS
fereuoe, to a^^ree upon and direct the mode for electing mem-
ber for a Provincial Convention. But as the matters involved
in the Haid recommendation were of so great consequence to
the well being of this Province, they thought it prudent to ad-
journ the determination of it to this day, when they again met,
and chose Joseph Hart, John Kidd, James Wallace, Benjamin
Seigle, and Henry Wynkoop, or any three of them, to repre-
sent this County at the aforesaid meeting. Andweheartly
wish that happiness and glory may attend it.
By order of the Committee :
I am, gentlemen, your very humble servant,

BERKS COUNTY RESOLVES. 1774.
At a meeting of a very respect^ible body of freeholders and
others, inhabitants of the county of Berks, at Reading, the 2d
of July, 1774, Edward Middle, Esq., in the chair.
This assembly, taking into their very serious consideration
the present critical situation of American affairs, do unani-
mously resolve as follows, viz :
1. That the inhabitants of this county do owe, and will pay
due allegiance to our rightful Bovereign, King George the
Third.
2. That the |>owers claimed, and now attempted to >>e put
into execution by the British Parliament, are fundamentally
wrong and cannot be admitted without the utter destruction
of the liberties of America.
:i That the Boston Port Bill is unjust and tyrannical in the
extreme, and that the measures pursued against Boston are
intended to operate equally against the rights and liberties of
tUe other colonies.
4. That this assembly doth concur in oi>inion with their re-
spective brethren of Philadelphia, that there is an absolute
necessity for an immediate congress of the deputies of the sev-
eral colonies in order to deliberate upon and pursue such
measures <is may radically heal our present unhappy distur-
bances, and settle with precision the rights and liberties of
A merica.
5. That the inhabitants of this county, confiding in the pru-
dence and ability of the deputies intended to be chosen for the
general congress, will cheerfully submit to any measures which
may be found by the said congress best adapted for the re-
storation of harmony between the mother-country and the
21— Vol. XIV.
A8800IATSD BATTALIONS
colonies, and for the necurity and firm establish ment of the
rights of America.
6. That as the people of Boston are now suffering in the
grand and common cause of American liberty;
Resolvedy That it is the duty of all inhabitants to eontnbate

To the Farmers of Berks County,
Reading, January 10, 1775.
The Committee of the County of Berks, having considered
the Association of the Butchers of this Town not to kill any
Sheep whatsoever till the first day of May next, take the
liberty earnestly to recommend to the inhabitants of this
County, not to sell any Sheep whatsoever to any Butcher from
Philadelphia, or elsewhere, till the first day of May. The pre-

nerving of wool being an objeet of the greatest consequence,
the Committee flatter themselves that the Farmers will
oheerfnlly observe this recommendation; and as the Commit-
tee will meet in Reading, on Tuesday, the 14th day of February
next, if any inhabitants have any objections to make to the
measure hereby recommended, such inhabitants are requested
to attend the Committee to make their objection, that the same
may be maturely considered.
Any person having wool, which he cannot dispose of in the
country, may bring it to the house of Mr. Mark Bird, in Read-
ing, who will give fourteen Pence per pound for any quantity.
By order of the Committee.
Jonathan Potts, Secretary.
Rbading, January dO, 1770.
At a meeting of the Standing Committee for Berks County,
held this day, Mark Bird, Esq. , in the chair.
The Committee taking into their consideration the present
state of the Asscoiation in this County, and being persuaded
of the pressing necessity of being prepared for defence, do
earnestly recommend it to their brethren to sign the Articles
of Association formed by the House of Assembly at their last
meeting; this Committee trusting that such amendments will
be made, at the next sitting of Assembly, as will make the
Association not only more effectual, but more consonant to the
principles of justice and equality.
' And afterwards, at a meeting of the Committee, on the 80th
of the same mOnth,
Resolfied^ unanimously. That it is the opinion of this Com-
mittee, that it will be highly requisite, in case the Assembly
should not think proper to make the necessary amendments
in the said Association, that a Provincial Convention be held
for that purpose; and they do, accordingly, appoint Edward
Biddle, Mark Bird, Jonathan Potts, Daniel Brodhead, Baltzer
Gheer, Collinson Read, Esquires, and Messrs. Valentine
Bckert, Nicholas Lutz, Sebastian Levan, and Richard Tea, to
attend the said Convention, in behalf of this County.
By order of the Committee.
Collinson Rbad, Secretary.
Rbadinq, January 80, 1770.
The Committee of Berks County being justly alarmed at the
attempts of the enemies of America, in the different parts of
324 ASSOCIATKD BATTALIONS
thiti Province, to depreciate the Contiaental CnrreDoy, and
havinij: retieived information that Oaiu8 Dickenson, a publiok
friend, has been one of the inBtruinentK in propa^tingso fatal
a measure, the Committee, being determineil to support the
said Currency, sent for the said Cfaius ])ickenson, who, being
brought before them, made the following Declaration, which
was voted satisfactory :
''Whkrkas, I, the subscriber, have unfortunately been
guilty of endeavouring to depreciate tlie Continental Cur-
rency, but now being convinced anil satisfied that such a con-
duct is highly unbecoming the duty of an American, and tends
immediately 10 obstruct the measures calculated to preserve
the liberties of this country from the cruel and unrelenting op-
pressions of the British Court, do most sincerely acknowledge
the heiuoiisness of such offence, <lo beg pardon of my offended
countrymen, and do also solemnly engage and promise not to
be guilty of a like offence in the future, but to conform to
sUch measures as shall be adjudged necessary for the preser-
vation of the rights of America, trusting and confiding that
nothing will be expected from me inconsistent with the reli-
gious principles of the Society with which I profess. And as a
further atonement for my misconduct, I request this aoknowl-
etlgment to be made piiblick, in ho(>es it may deter others from
ccnumitting the like offence.

At the same time, one William ri^illiland, who had lieen some
time in conlhiement by order .)f the Committee, was brought
up and discharged, after subscribing the following aisknowledg-
ment of his misconduct :
''Whtreas, I, the subscriber, have been so very wicked and
ubandoned as to speak at sundry times disrespectfully of the
honourable the Continental Congress, and also have endeav-
oured to depreciate their Currency, for which detestable con-
duct I have, deservedly, been confined in the Jail of thisConnty
by the Committee of said County, but being now fully con-
vince<l of the heinonsness and horrid tendency of such con-
<luct, do hereby, in the fullest manner, most sincerely beg par-
don of my justly incensed countrymen, and do promise here-
after never to be guilty of the like, but in all instance to con-
form to such rules and regulations as may be instituted by
that very respectable bo<ly for the preservation of our invalu-
able, but invaded, rights and liberties ; and do further request
that this my acknowledgement may be made publiok, that

practices.
"In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand, this thir-

Rrading, Febrtiatyi, 1776.
Grjvtlkmbn : A number of English soldiers who were lately
taken in Canada have arrived here, with their wives and cliil-
dren. The Committee^ were immediately assembled, and,
although they were mnch surprised at so large a party being
ordered here without any previous notice, and without any per-
son attending them to supply them with necessaries, yet, un-
derstanding it was the pleasure of Congress the said soldiers
should be quartered here, they immediately apiK>]nted Mr.
Henry Haller, a member of the Committee, to provide houses,
fire- wood, and provisions for the party, who must liave other-
wise sufTered much at this severe season. As we are totally un-
acquainted with the pleasure of the honourable Congress as
to the particular quantities of provisions to be allowed these
prisoners, we have despatched an express to you, gentlemen,
desiring you will, by his return, be pleased to procure and
send to us the directions of Congress to govern us in the mat-
ter.
As Mr. Haller has been an active member of this Committee,
and is a very suitable person, we beg leave to recommend
him to be continued as Commissary for the soldiers stationed
here.
We are, gentlemen, your most obedient, humble servants.

lUHOloed^ That as some fieople have declared that no oha-

conduct will only serve to Introduce confusion and dlaordar,
and endanger the lives and properties of every Individnal in

termined to siip(K>rt the same to the utmost of their abilities,
that the same obedience should be paid to the civil authority
HM nst»d to be ptild to it, till a new Constitution shall be formed

AND MILITIA OF THE EBVOLUTION. W
WuRRKAS, The Honourable the Continental Congress have
recommende<l it to the Beverai Asctemblies, Conventions, Ooiui-
cils, and OoiumitteeM of Safety of the several United Colonies,
to cause all pentons to be disarmed within their respeotiv^
Colonies who are notoriously disaffeoted to the caode of
America, or who have not associated and refuse to associate for
the defence of these Coloni«^s by aims against the hostile at-
tempts of the British fleets and armies, and that such of the
said Arms as are fit for use, or which can be made so, be ap-
praised, as by the said recommeiidatfon of Congress is di-
rected ; in pursuance whereof the Assembly of this Province
have resolved that three shall be chosen by the inhabitants of
every Township in the Province, who shall meet those chosen
by the two adjoining Townships, to collect the arms from the
disaffected persons and non-Associators aforesaid; and have
further directed that the Committees of Inspection and Ob-
servation in each County shall take care that the said r^ooin-
mendation of Congress be effectually put in execution : And
whereas some people in Berks County, in contempt of the «ai«l
authority, have refused to deliver up their Arms to said col-
lectors, and put the Committee to the disagreeable necessity
of taking proper notice of their conduct ; this public notice is
given, as well to the said disaffected persons and non-Associa-
tors as to the said collectors in this County, that the Commit-
tee will afford all the assistance in their power to the said eol-
lectors in procuring the Arms aforesaid ; and in case of their
neglect or refusal to do their duty, will take sueh notice of
them, and such further measures as will answer the intuition
of the said resolvea
WhereaSj It hath been proved before the Committee of Berks
county, that we, the subscribers, have been guilty of spreading
a report that the Officers of the Militia Company of Ccdehrook-
dale Township, in the said County, had sold their men to the
Colonel of the Battalion to which they belonged. We do
liereby acknowledge our misconduct, and beg pardon of the
Officers of the said company for spreading the said report, and
do promise for the future to conduct ourselves so as to give no
offence to the said company or any other of the Associators
of this county.

328 ASSOCIATED BATTALIONS
Whereas^ I, the subnoriber, liave greatly abused the persons
appointed to collnot the Arms of the non-Assooiators in the
Township pf Berne, in Berks County, for which I was Justly
confined by the Committee of the said County; I do therefore
be^ pardon of the publick for my misconduct, and promise to
behave myself for tlie future so as to give no offence to the
pubiick, or opposition to the measures of the Congress, Assem-
blies, or Committees, acting by their authority.
Witness my hand :

June 15, 1776.
Whereas, I, the subscriber, have declared that no person
who hath taken the oaths of allegiance to the king ought to
be permitted-to hold any office in the Militia, and that Henry
Christ and Baltzer Gheer, E^q. 's were unfit persons to be Col-
onels for that reason ; and whereas I am now convinced that
if such an opinion should prevail it would occasion the removal
of many worthy officera who have taken the said oaths before
the same were dispensed with by the honourable Congress,
and promote great disturbances among the Assooiators : I do
therefore, hereby declare that I look upon the said opinion as
unjustifiable and wrong, and beg pardon of Colonel Gheer for
the disturbance my declaring the same hath produced in his
l>attalion ; and I do engage for the future not to mention the
same, or any other matter which may tend to the disturbance
of the Associacors, or other persons eugagcKl in the support of
the publick measures necessary at this time.

A rethrti was presented to this Committee, signed by Wil-
liam Scull, Ksq. , Chairman of a meeting of tlie officers and
committeemen of the lower division of this county, held at
Northumberland the 7th inst., certifying that the following
gentlemen were duly elected fiiild officers for the Battalion of
said division, vi/. :
Samuel Hunter, Esq., (^ohmel.
William Cook, Esq., Lieutenant Colonel.
( 'asper Weitzel, E.«q. , First Major.
Mr. John Lee, 8<»cond Major.
Resolved^ That we accept of the same as a true return, an<l
that the gentlemen therein meniionedbe recommend(Ml to
the Hon. As.Kembly <>r Tommittee of Safety to be commis-
sioned accc)rdingly.
Complaint being made that the battalion of the upper divi-
sion of this County luive not yet met so as to have a fair elec-
tion for field olTicer.<,
litsnlred; That it be recommended to the officers, with three
committeemen from each township in said division, to meet at

tljeir field officers tuul n*rurn them to this committee on Mon-
day, 20th inst., in order to 1h» r»»connnended to the Commit-

Captains of companies in this county (ui>on tlieir several occa-
AND MILITIA OF THE REVOLUTION. 355
sions) and such as did appear (froiu ihr>> short notice they have
had) not being provided with as reguhir returns of their oflBcers
and companies as we think can autliorize our recouiuienda-
tion of said captains or tlieir subalterns to the Assembly or
Connnitteeof Safety of this Province, to remedy this incon-
venience it is Recommended to the committeemen of each town-
ship to advertise a meeting of the several coin{>anie8 on We<l-
nesday 21st inst., at such places as the majority of the com-
mitteemen shall think most convenient, where, under the in-
spection of two or more committeemen, each company shall
establish their present, or elect other oflicers, as they shall
think proper, and the captains so established or elected shall
make returns of their subalterns and companies to this com-
mittee on Monday 26th inst. It is expected that no gentleman
will offer to return a company that does not consist of forty
privates with the ofUcersand non-commissioned officers, agree-
able to the regulations of our Hon. House of Assembly.
Resolved^ That if a committeeman or committeemen be
elected officers, one or more magistrate or magistrates present
may certify for them, and if no magistrate be present, then
two or more reputable men certifying for the justness of the
election will be accepted of.
Keaoiced^ That it is the opinion of this Committee that a
petition be presented to the Hon. Assembly of this province,
setting forth the late murder of two of the shenfT'spo^^e, near
Wioming, for attempting to act in conformity to the laws.
Resolved^ That John Weitzel, Esq., Alexander Hunter, Esq.
and Mr. Thomond Ball, be a committee to frame said petition
and present it to this Committee at their next meeting.

356 AvSSOCUATED BATTALIONS
Resolved, Tlmt the above six companies appear to be full
and regularly officered, and that they, with the field oflBcers
of tliat battalion* be recommended to the Committee of Safety
to receive their respective commissions, which was done in a
letter, of whicli the following is an abstract.
NoRTHUMBKRLAND, February 26, 1776.
CtKNTLBMKN, At a meeting of the Committee for this
County, held this day, the following gentlemen were returue<i
as duly elected Field Officers, Captains and Subalterns of a
Battalion raised in this county, viz. —the officers mentione<]
above. The above returns of six companies belonging to the
Battalion expected to becommandt'd by Sanuul Hunter, Esq.,
appear to be well and regularly certified as complete companies.
There are two or three oompanies more intend to1)elongto8aid
4 battalion, but their captains being at present out of the county
we have l*eceived no returns of them. We furtlier have the
pleasure to- inform yo-.i there is another complete battalion
formed in this county, intended to be under the command of
William Plunket, Esq., but he with his other field officers l>e-
ing so lately prouioted, their companies have not had sufficient
time to elect captains in their rooiu, we therefore think we
cannot at present with propriety recommend them, but hope
in a few days to have the honor of tratismitting to you a proper
return ot said battalion. In the mean time take the liberty
to recommend the above named gentlemen to be comniissionetl
in the several stations annexed to their names.
And are gentlemen, with due esteem.
Your very humble servant,
By order of the CN)mmittee,

To the Committee of Safety, Philadelphia.
Resolved, That as several companies belonging to battalions
in this county have not yet brought in their returns, and it
may be inconvenient to call the whole Committee together to
receive their returns, that the Chairman, with four others of
the Committee, be sufficient to receive such returns and rec-
ommend the o.'Ticers to the Committee of Safety.
Resnloed^ That this (^ommittoe be adjourned to Wednesday,

CtKNTLKMKN,— Agreeaole to the promise of our last of 26tii
uJt., we now inform that at a meeting of the committee for
this county held this day, the following j^entlemen were re-
turned as fairly elected field officers, captains and subalterns
of a battalion raised in this county, viz:
William Plunket, Esq., Colonel, and the rest as above.
The above returns of officers for a battalion conpisting of seven
companies, appear to us to be regular and well certified to be
complete companies; we therefore take tlie liberty of recom-
mending said gentlemen to the respectable Committee of Safety
appointed for the Province of Pennsylvania to receive commis-
sions in the several stations annexed to their names. Beini;
unwilling to trouble the committee, who. we apprehend, are
already over-burthened with business, we have transmitted an
enumeration of grievances under which we think this county
labours, to Samuel Hunter, Esq., our representative, and one
of your respectabl 5 body, who is well acquainted with tJie cir-
cumstances of this county, requesting he may, if necessary, lay
the same before you, and should be glad of your opinion how-
to act in the different cases therein mentioned.
We are, gentlemen, de-
signed by order of the Committee,
John Hambright, Chairman.
To Ute Coininittee of Hnfety^ Philadelphia.
ORTHiTMBKRiiAND, March 13, 177(1.
Sir, — We have this day wrote to the Committee of Safety,
recommending officers of another battalion, to wit : Colonel
Plunket*s. We had it in contemplaf ion to write to the Com-
mittee of Safety concerning the recruiting parties that have
lately been amongst us and taken away some good men, when
both officers and men could be sent from this, if any ought to be
358 ASSOC! ATKD BATTALIONS
sent oat of tlie county. 1 1 ift unnecessary for us to inform
you of our hituation, as you are so well acquainted with it.
There liave been different applications ro us for recomineDda-
tions us ofTicers of coiu|)anies to be raised in this county, to go
into immediate service ; we are somewhat at a loss what to do,
but would be desirous, if men are to be taken from the conti-
nental service out of this county, officers should go with them.
We, not ccmsidering it proper to trouble the Committee of
Safety with our sentiments on this occasion, have taken the
liberty to write to you, with an intention to get your advice
upon the matter, as w«» cannot prevent recruiting parties from
coming amongst us, or stop men from going into the army
out of this county. If more battalions shouhl be raiseti, or
more men wanted, would it not be proper from our situation as
a frontier county to have two or three companies raised, offi-
cered and disciplined, and i>ut into immediate pay ; and if not
wanted nearer home, to be always in readiness to go upon any
service on which the continent may have occasion for them.
Wo have sufficient information that Hawkins Boone has en-
listed several men in this county, and has declared his having
received his authority and money from the Congress for that
purf)ose, an<l that he is to be a guard to the Congress. By
this coiKliict he has drawn off some men from th^^ different
companies of military associators. We have as a committee
of the county taken liberty to cite him to appear before some
of us and show bv what authoritv he has undertaken so to do,
but he has not appeared. We think when men are enlisted in
this county, we have a right to know for what service they are
eidisted. It is from our zeal for the good cause now c^irrying
on that we are desirous to know the reason of suoh procedure.
This, if yon thiTik proper, you intiy communciate to the Com-
mittee of Safety, and are requesting your advice how to act.
With due respect, your very humble servants.
Signed on behalf of the (Committee,
John' Hambkight, Chairman,
To .Samuel Hunter, Bs(/., Philadelphia,
Information being giv«'n to the Committee that a certain
Hawkins lU>one is now enlisting men in this county, without
giving any satisfactory account for what purpose or service the
said men are enlisted.
Rpsolvtfl. That the Chairman of this C'ommittee call ujion
the said Hawkins Boone, by letter or otherwise, to appear be-
fore him and two or mor<» of said committee, as he, the chair-
'-^ -
AND MILITIA OF THE REVOLUTION. 85a
man, shall think expedient, on such day and at 8uch place as
he Hhall appoint, to show cause why lie, the said Boon, enlists
men as aforesaid.
Resolved^ That this Committe« be adjourned to Monday, 25th
of Mfi^*ch instant, then to meet at the lioube of Tnomond
Ball, in {Sunbury.
Monday March 26, 1776.
The Committee met pursuant to adjournment at the house
of Thomond Ball, in Sunbury, Captain John Hambri^j^ht in
the chair.
Resolved, That it appears to this Committee that several re-
cruiting ojfficers belonging to battalions of different counties in
this Province, having lately come to this infant frontier county
and drained it of a number of uneful men, to the prejudice of
the same. i
Resolved, That for tho future no officer or non-commissioned
otflce;* be allowed to recruit men iYi this county, except the
olticers who are or may be appointed therein.
John Simpson, Esq., presented a return, wherein appears
the following list of officers, the company belonging to Col.
Hunter's battalion, viz:
Captain, ,Tohn Simpson, Esq.,
1st Lieut. Robert Curry,
2d Lieut. John Ewart,
1st Ensign, Thomas Gaskins,
2d Ensign, David Mead.
Resolved, That the same appears a full company, and tliat
the gentlemen therein mentioned as officers, be recommended
to the Committee of Safety to receive their several commis-
sions, which was done accordingly by a letter, of which the
following is a copy.
SuxBURV, 3/arcA 26, 1776.
(iKXTLKMEX — Our last to you was of 13th inst. , recommend-
ing William Plunket, Esq., Colonel, with other officers of a
battalion commanded by said Col. At this meeting John Simp-
.son, Esq., presents a return in whicli it appears that he is
Captain, Robert Curry, 1st, and John Ewart, 2d Lieutenants,
Thomas Gask ins, 1st, and David Mead, 2d Ensign, which is well
certified to be a full company belonging to Col. Hunter's bat'
talion ; we therefore take the liberty of recommending said
300 ASSOCIATED BATTALIOiSS
t^eiitlenien to receive commissions agreeable to the ranks to
wliich the people have appointed them. We are now, gentle-
men, to inform you of what we think a grievance to this 3'oung
and thinly inhabited county, viz, a constant succession of re-
cruiting officers from different counties in this province. Our
zeal for the cause of American liberty has hitherto prevented
our taking any steps to hinder the raising of men for its ser-
vice, but fhiding the evil increasing so fast vipon us as almost
to threaten the depopulation of the county, we cannot help ai>-
pealing to the wisdom and justice cf your Committee to know
whether the quota of men that may be demanded from this
county under their own officers is not us much as can reasona-
bly be expected from it. Whether at a time when we are un-
certain of peace with the Indians (well knowing that our ene-
mies are tampi^ring with them) and a claim is set up to the
greatest part of this province by a neighboring colony who
have their hostile abettors at our very breasts, as well as their
emissaries amongst us, is it prudent to drain an infant frontier
county of its strength of men? and whether the safety of the
interior i>arts of the province would not be better secured by
adding strength to tlu; frontiers? Whet lu'r our Hon. Assembly,
by disposing of commissions to gentlemen in different counties
TO raise companies which are to form llie number of battalions
thought necessary for the defence of the i)rovince, did not in-
tend that the respective captains should raise their companies
wliere they [were] appointed? and not distress our county by
taking from it all the men necessary for the business of agri-
cult ure,as well as the defence of the same? From our knowledge
of the state of this county, we make free to give our opinion of
what would be most for its advantage, as well as that of the
province, (between which we hope there never will be a differ-
ence ;) and llrst are to niforiu you [of) the poverty of the peo-
ple, many t)f whom came bare and naked here, being plundered
by a banditti who call themselves Yankies, and those who
brought souie property with them from the necessary delay of
cultivating a wilderness before? they could have any produce to
live uiM)n, together wit h the necessity of still continuing the
closest application to labor and industrs for their 8upi)ort,
ren<lers it morally improbable that a well <lisci[>lined militia
can be establishetl here, as the distance which some men are ob-
lige(i to go to muster is the loss of two days to them, which,
not being paid for, they will not, nor indeed can they so often
attend as is necessiiry to complete them oven in the manual
<*xercise. We wouKl recommeiul tiiat two or more companies
ho raised ami put in p;iy for th(» use of the province, to be
reaily.to march when and where the s;*rvice may require them.

an<l when not wanted for the service of the public at any i>ar-
ticular place, to be btationecl in thiH county in order to be near
and defend our frontier, should they be attacked by our ent-
uiies of any denomination, the good edect of which we imag-
ine would be considerabie, as though they may be too few to
repel, they may stop t lie progress of an enemy until the militia
could be raised to aKt^ist them. Should this proposal appear
eligible, please to inform us thereof, ami we will recommend
such gentlemen for officers as we think will be most suitable for
the service an'.l agreeable to the i>eople.

sent all the best arms with our men into the Continental and

county at large, except upon an appeal from the township
committee, and that such appeal be delivered in writing, as
well as all complaints that are received, and that all com-
plaints be signed by the person aggrieved or complaining.
2<i. Resolved, That Adrew Culbertson, Mordecai McKinney,
and James Giles, call upon Col. Wm. Plunket for the divi-
<lend of ammunition belonging to the six companies of his bat-
talion that lie above Muncy, and in case it is inconvenient for

As this ('ommittee is informed of a quantity of powder and
lead at Mr. John Harris's ferry, which belon^^s to the associa-

The Committee met according to'adjournment, in the tow:i
of Northumberland— Mr. Robert Frute in the Chair
Comi^laint beinjj made to this Committee against Mr. Aaron
Levy and John Bullion, setting forth that the aforesaid Levy
and Bullion have a quantity of salt on hand which they refuse
to sell for cash, by a former resolve of the Committee.
Rrisolved^ That the aforesaid salt that is in the hands of the
aforesaid Ijevy and Bullion, (as they have refused the same for
sale,) be ]>ut into the hands of Mr. Wni. Sayers, and by him
sold at the rate of lifteen shillings per >>ushel, and not to sell
unto any family above half a bushel for the time that the said
salt is selling, and that the said Sayers shall kee]) a particular
account of every bushel that he sells, and when sol<l, he shall
return the money arising from said salt to this Committee,
first deducting one shilling out of the Pound for his trouble ft>r
selling said salt, and six shillings and four pence for i)orterage.
A complaint being nuule to this Committee against two cer-
tain men, namely, William ('hattim and James Parker, of not
behaving themselves as friends to our country in general, and
had armed themselves with two pistols, therefore, it was
Resolvf'd^ That the aforesai<J ('hattim and Parker should b«»
sent for and examined.
Being brought b(»fore the Committee an<l examined, they con-
fessed themselves to be two of His Brittanic Majesty's soldiers,
and both prisoners. Therefore, this Committee thought it most
proper to convey the two aforesaid men into the care of Lan-
caster Committee, where we understaiKl there is a number of
their fellow prisoners, and that the aforesaid arms should l>e
sold at public sale, and the money arising from the sale of said
arms, should, as far as it would lulmit if, be put to discharge

September 12Ui, 1776.
On examination of' the two different quantities of ammuni-
tion heretofore forwarded to the care of the Committee of this
county, and on a careful examination of the number of asso-
ciators in this county, it appears that the quota of each asso-
ciator is half a pound of powder and one pound- of lead.
Ami wh reas, the greater part of Col. Plunket's battalion
are situated in the frontier, and most exposed i^arts of this
county, therefore. Resolved^ that the further quantity of
eighty-nine |>ounds of powder and one hundred and seventy-
eight i>ounds of lead bo delivered into the hands of Mr. Flem-
ing, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Knmpling, Mr. Culbertsonand Mr. Giles,
and that the same be by them delivered among the different
cuiptains of the said battalion, with the strictest charge that
the same \h* i>re.served for the purpose of the defence of this
count y.
The same division to be made with a proper regard to the
different numbers in each company. And it is further Resolved^
that the further quantity of eighty-six pounds and three-quar-
ters of |M)wder, and the quantity of one hundrd and seventy-
three i>onnds and one-half of lead be delivered to Mr. Fruit,
Mr Gray, Mr. McClannachan, ^Ir. Shaw, Mr. MoCandles and
Mr. (ieddis, to be by them distributed among the Captains of
Col. Potter's battalion in such sort that each private have one
quarter of jK>wder and half a pound of lead, Captain McMil-
lan's company excepted, who are to have each half a pound of
powder and one pound of lead.
And it is further Resolved that the further quantity of iifty
]K>unds of i>owderand one hundred pounds of lead be delivered
to Mr. Coal, Mr. Treast3r, Mr. Bolander, Mr. Brousius and
Mr. Reitz, by them to be divided among the Captains of Col.

Whkrkas, Tliis Committee being informed by one of our
meiAbers of convention that there is a dividend of salt in Phil-
adelphia, which is allotted for this county by a late resolve of
Convention, therefore, this Committee thought proper to ap-
lK>int two suitable persons to go to Pliilaclelphia and take
charge of said salt, and [to] be by them conveyed to this county
and delivered to the care of this Committee. Therefore, Wil-
liam McCIay and Mordecal McKinney' were unanimously ap-
pointed by this committee for the purpose above mentione<l.
Resolved^ That the salt belonging to this county is to be sold
at fifteen shillings per bushel.
A complaint being laid unto this Committee by Samuel Dale
against Col. William Plunket, the same being read, was post-
poned until our next meeting.

some of them had been tried for murder, and some for horse-

Whereas, a certain Robert Robb was brought before the
Committee of this county, on account of sundry charges proven
against him, and a resolve of this committee entered thereon,
l>earing date December 17th, 1776, by virtue whereof he was
committe<l to the custoily of Col. James Murray, to >)e by him
sent to some proper place of confinement until released by a
su|>erior authority, and whereas the said Col. Murray out of
lenity to said Robb's family, saw fit to appoint the mansion
house of the said Robb as a prison for him on a promise of his
good behaviour for the future, but as said Robb hath since
(as appears by sufficient testimony given before this Commit-
tee), very ungratefully abused the lenity shown him by said
Col. Murray, by barbarously beating and much abusing a cer-
tain Peter Smith of this countv so as to render him unable for
a ccmsiderable time to support himself and his small family by
his industry as usual, as appears by the testimony of said
Smith, and other evidences produced before this Committer,
and whereas, he did at the same time not only despise all au-
thority of this Committee, but also charged them with horse-
stealing, robbery an<l murder, as appears by the testimony of
said evidences. Therefore^ Resoloed^ Notified to take, or order
to be taken the aforesaid Robert Robb before the Council of

A certain Captain Jacob Links, of BufTalo Township, appeal-
ed to this Committee in consequence of a resolve of the Com-
mittee of said township, a copy of whicli is as follows, viz:
" Resolved^ That Jacob Links does return several sums of
money which a number of the inhabitants of this township
did deliver to him for the use of purchasing salt, he, said
liinks, acknowledging he could have had salt, but it being
troublesome times he was afraid he should suffer loss if he
would purchase the salt, and a certain evidence did declare
that he said he was going on his own business to Philadelphia,
and he, said liinKs, did not bring salt.
'* Dec. 21, 1776. By the Committee of BuiTalo Township.
Will Irwin, Chairman.
In consequence of said appeal, Mr. Links was called in before
this Committee and asked if he had evidence to produce. He
said he had, but that he had them not then ready.
Resolmd, That Mr. Links's appeal be referred till the next
meeting of Committee, and that Ids evidence be summoned to
attend.
Whrrbas, Col. or Capt. Benjamin Weiser has made com-
plaint to this Committee that a number of persons who had
been out under his command in the militia of this county in
order to join the Continental Army in New Jersey, and that
the said persons were deserted from him and returned home
to this county, as the same is more fully expressed in a letter
to this Committee, bearing date craving their assist-
ance.
Resolved, That a day of muster be assigned for the said per-
sons to meet and march off to camp and serve out their time,
allowing them to elect new officers if they had any objections
to the old ones, certifying them also, that if they neglect to
obey this resolve, they are to be taken up and committed as
deserters.
Whkrkas, this Committee have received a letter from the
Committee of the Township of Bald Eagle, together with a re-
solve of their Committee anent the selling of grain, &c., in

AND MILITIA OF THE REVOLUTION. 370
April 15iA. 1777.
The Committee met according^ to adjournment, Mr. Thomas
Jordan in the chair.
Whbrbas, a certain Jacob Tricthrneh, havinfj^ disobeyed
a summons issued by this Committee at their last sitting for
iiim to have compeared at this meeting of Committee as evi-
dence in the affair of Jacob Links.
Resofved, That a special warrant be now granted for bring-
ing liiiii before tliis Committee to-morrow at nine o'clock.
ApHl mh, 1777.
Jacob Driesbach was brought before the Committee, and be-
ing duly sworn, he saith that he asked Capt. Links if he was
.the man that was to go to Philadelphia for salt, and the said
Links answered that he was, and said that he had a sister in
Philadelphia, and wanted to see her, and said it would suit
him better to go than another who had no errand of their
own, but says for his own part he was willing to allow Capt.
Links whatever came to his share of the expenses at the same
rate that the rest of his employers allowed him, and further
saith not.
Jacob Drkisbach.
Mr. (4eorge Overmire, a member of this Committee, declareth
that he was present when Capt. Links agreed with his em-
ployers, and says that he was to have his expenses allowed
him whether he got salt or not.
Capt. Links compeared and produced his account for travel-
ing exi^enses, which amounted to £5 15, acknowle<lging the
receipt of £89 from his employers, part of which he had yet in
his hands, and says he could have got salt, but it being salt
that had been already purchased or allotted for the use of this
county, and was to be distributed over the county at large, it
was not answering his purpose to bring it, and there was no
other salt he could get to purchase.
Resolved^ That Capt. Links be authorized to keep the sum
of two shillings and eleven pence half penny out of every pound
of his employers* money for payment of his expenses, as his ac-
count appears to this Committee to be very moderate.
WuBRBAS, a certain William Read, of Bald Eagle Township,
has been taken into custody and carried before this committee
to answer for his conduct in refusing to associate and bear arms
in behalf of the States, and being asked his reason for so re-
fusing, his answers were as follows, viz:
That he was once concerned in a riot tiiat happened in Ire-
»aO ASSOCIATED BATTALIONS
land, commonly known by the name of the Hearts of Steel, and
was taken prisoner, tried and acquitted upon his taking an
oath of allegiance to the king, and coming [under] solemn ob-
ligations never to lift arms against him for the future, he
therefore looked upon it as a breach of his oath to muster or
bear arms in behalf of the States, as the arms of the States
were now employed against the king to whom he had sworn
allegiance.
Being further asked if he had any objections to the cause
the United States were now engaged in, he said he had not any,
and would be as forward and willing as any to join in it, could
he do it without breach of his oath. Being asked if he would
take an oath of allegiance to the United States, he said he
would if it did not oblige him to take up arms.
Accordingly an oath was tendered to him, and he swore as
follows :
1 do swear to be true to the United States of America, and
do ranounce and disclaim all allegiance to the king of Great
Britain, and promise that 1 will not either directly or in-
directly s])eak or act any thing in prejudice to the cause or
safety of the States, or lift arms against them, or be any way
assistant to their declared enemies in any case whatsoever.
Wm. Read.
Whereupon, the Committee resolved to dismiss him upon
his {>aying the sum of seventeen shillings and one penny half
penny, being the costs of bringing him before the Committee.
In consequence of sundry rejiorts from different parts of th<»
country, of a dangerous plot's being on foot by some of our
enemies to bring on an Indian war. and in i>articular by an in-
tercepted letter now before this Committee wrote by a certain
Nicholas Pickard, directed to a certain John Pickard at the
house of Casper Read, in Penns Township with all speed, a copy
of which was transmitted 1o us by Nathaniel Landon, of
Wyoming, and is now before this Committee, and is as follows :
"Wyoming, March 7, 1777.
** Worthy Frieml—l cannot omit but write you a few lines
that I am in a good state of health, and further I let you
know that as soon as the river is clear of ice, we shall march
from every part, therefore I would advise you as a friend to go
out of the way, for we then, as soon as the river is clear of ice,
intend to cut all off, therefore I think it is better for you to go
out of the way with the rest, for against May it will go as you
heard it should go. Perhaps against Easter I will be with you,
then I shall tell you further and ^Ive you a better account of
it. No more at present, but I remain your trusty friend. Give
AND MILITIA OP THE REVOLUTIOX. 381
my compliments to them all a thousand times. Tell them all
that I intend to see them soon. I have wrote to you as much as
I durst.
^Signed) Nicholas Pickard."
In consequence of which letter, Col. James Murray and Capt.
James Bspy were sent out by order of this Committee in search
of the said Nicholas and John Pickard.
April 11, 1777.
Capt. Espy returned and brought the body of John Pickard
before this Committee, and being legally sworn upon the Holy
Evangelist of Almiglity God, He saith that he went up the
river some time about last Cliristmas from Middletown to
Wyoming, in a boat, and at Wyoming he met with the afore-
said Nicholas Pickard, his own cousin, and that they two went
by land about twenty miles further up the river to a place
called Tankhannock, to see some friends, and being in the
house of a certain Nicholas Phillips, he, the said Phillips, told
his cousin and him that- the Indians had told him they would
come down and cut all ofT against this spring, or as soon as
they got their orders, and that they would in {^articular strike
upon the Mohawk river, and the waters of the Susquehau-
nough, and that when he parted with the said Nicholas at that
time, he promised to write to the deponent as soon as he
thought there was immediate danger, so that he might go out
of the way, withal telling him that the Indians did not want
to kill any ttiat did not take up arms against them, so that i/
he would go out of the way, or lie still on one side, there would
be no danger of him. And further told him about a fortnight
ago that there were 500 Indians at Shamung waiting for orders
from Niagara. Likewise that lie the de^xinent asked the said
Nicholas what his reason was for coming down to Casper Read's
at that time, (being about a fortnight ago,) and lie told him
that the Yankeys were going to apprehend him for a tory, and
that a certain Dennis Clark came to him about midnight and
gave him notice of it, and accordingly he made liis escap »
down the river to Casper Read's or that neighborhood. And
that he told the deponent that he has wrote him two letters,
one of which was sent by a man of the name of Clark, which
the deponent thinks is the same Clark that gave him notice to
go oft, and that Clark took sick upon the way, and when he
could not proceed forward with the letter by reason of his ill-
ness hethrewthe letter in the fire and burnt it, and that ihecon-
tents of the letter was that the Indians were coming down, and
for the deponent to go out of tlie way ; and further saith not.
John Pickard.
382 ASSOCIATED BATTALIONS
An oath of allegiance to the Unite<l States being proposed to
John Pickard, and bail for his good behavior, he complied
witli both, and produced Casper Read as his bail, ^ho bound
himself in a bond of an hundred pounds for the good and or-
derly l)ehavior of John Pickard for a year and a day next to
come after this date. Then the oath of allegiance was ten-
dered to him and he swore as follows :
I do swear to be true to the United States of America, and
do renounce and disclaim all allegiance to the King of Great
Britain, and promise that I will not either directly or indirectly
speak or act any thing in prejudice to the cause of safety of
the states, or lift arms against them, or be any way assistant
to their declared enemies in any case whatsoever. So help
me God.
John Pickard.
Ui>on th(^ satinfaction given to the Committee by the said
John Pickard, it was unanimously agreed that he be dismissed.
April 17, 1777.
Colonel Murray returned and brought the body of Nicholas
Pickanl before this Committee and being interrogated anent
the aforesaid letter confesseth that lie wrote it, and a copy of
the letter being read unto him he acknowledged the same in
overy particular, and further confesseth that he is in connec-
tion with the ministerial troops at Niagara, and that he has
taken an oath of allegiance to the King of Britahi, but says
he was forced to it, and further concerning the letter he says
that he wrote it in a kin<l of mysterious manner, by reversing
the letters so that it might not >>e understood in case it should
be intercepted, and that he sent it by one Dennis Clark of
Wyoming, and that he had seen Clark since that time, who
told him that he took sick upon the way, and seeing that he
could not get the letter forwarded he had burnt it.
He likewise says that one Nicholas Phillips at Tankhannock
notified him and several others thereabouts to move away with
their families and connections to a place called Tioga in the
Indian country, as the English were coming down to cnt off
the inhabitants upon the waters of the Mohawk river and the
Susquehannough. That there were 15,000 of the ministerial
troops at Niagara, which were to be put into three Divisions;
4,000 of them were to come Down the North Branch and 4,000
down the West Branch of Susquehannough, and 7,000 down
the Mohawk river, and a number of Indians were to be along
with them, and that the person who informed this Phillips
AND MILITIA OF THE REVOLUTION. 3s;{
of it was one Joiin DePew, who is ^one off and joine<i the Eng-
lish at Nia^ikra, and that he sent him this piece of information
by an Indian after lie went olT.
Upon due deliberation upon the examination of Nicholas
Pickard, the Committee are ununimoubly of opinion that he is
an enemy to the States ; therefore
Resoloed, That he be immediately sent from before this Com-
mittee to the Supreme Executive Council of this State, to be
dealt with as their superior judgments shall direct them in
the oase, and that John Croats be the person who shall carry
him thither, and that he call as many to his assistance as may
be needful.
Hesoloed^ That this Committee be adjourned till the 10th
day of June next, when th.*y are to meet at the house of Mr.
Laughlan McCartney in Northumberland.
The Committee to Supreme Exeautioe Council,
Ap7il 1«^A, 1777
To the Honorable the Supreme Executite Council of the State of
Pennsylvania:
Most Honourablk: We, the Committee of Safety for the
County of Northumberland having had before us some afTairs
relating to a Suspected plot to be on footing against the peace
and Safety of this County and State by some of our own Bosom
Enemies in encouraging the wild savages to commence hos-
tility against us, and not only so but upon all accounts that we
can learn matters of that kind have a very gloomy aspect ;
and oonsidering the sore circumstances of this County at pre-
sent on account of the want of arms and lunmunltion we could
make but a poor defence if we were to be attacked. The men
who were out in the militia last winter from this County having
left the principal part of their best arms at the Continental
Store at Morristown, which were a great part of the arms fit
loi^aervice that could be collected in the County. We there-
lore beg your wisdoms may take our case into consideration
and grant us such supplys as may enable us to stand our
ground against all our hostile enemies of what ever kind. Wo
need not add more particulars, as John Coats one of our mem-
bers 18 now sent down to you with a prisoner who will deliver
you this letter and give intelligence of all particulars come to
our knowledge.

In Committkk, at Carltslr, June 28, 177a
Whereas, complaints weroinade to this Ooininittee that, the
conduct and sentiments of John Clark, of Allen Township, in
this County, miller, have been, and t>till are, unfriendly to the
liberties of the United Colonies: And whereas, in pursuance of
notice, the said John Clark appeared twice before this ('Ommit-
tee, when sundry witnesses wore examined upon oath, by
whose testimony the charges exhibited against him are fully
proved: And whereas, the said John Clark declined making
any acknowledgments to his injured country, and in manifest
contempt of this Committee, thought fit to set out for his own
habitation whilst the Committee had his case under their con>
sideratioii.
Ke soloed, that the said John Clark is an enemy to the rights
and liberties of the United Colonies ; and it is recommended to
all the friends of liberty that they have no dealings nor con-
nections with the said John Clark in future, as they regard the
welfare of their injured country.
Resolved, That the above Resolution be published in the
newspapers of this Province.
Signed by order of the Committee .
John Montgomery, Chairman.
A Petition from the Privates of the First Battalion of Militia
in the County of Cuml>erland, was presented to the House,
and follows in these words, viz :
**To the Honourable the Representatives of the Freemen of
the Province of Pennsylvania, in (reneral Assembly met.
'*The Petition of the Privates of the First Battalion of Militia
in Cumberand County, most humbly showeth :
"That your Petitioners, desirous of exerting themselves in
defence of American Liberty against the tyranny of a cruel
and desolating enemy, beg leave to lay before the honourable
House some amendments, which they wish to havu made in
the Articles of Association framed at your last sitting, in order
that they may sign them with that freedom which every true
patriot and friend to American liberty ought to feel himself
possesse<l of; without which amendments, the liberties of the
Privates of the Association appear to be, in a great measure^
taken away.
" First. The time of keeping the Associators out on actual ser-
vice is no where limited, either in the Rules or Articles of As-
sociation ; which, your Petitioners apprehend, puts them in a
worse situation than the inlisted Troops. We submit it to the
wisdom of the honourable House whether two or three months
488 ASSOCIATED BATTALIONS
are not sutllcient to keep out any party of Associatorft at one
time, until relieved by others at the call of the Assembly, or
Committee of Safety.
"Secondly. The Articles, as they now stand, establish all
the officers of the Association during life, or until otherwise
removed by resignation, promotion, or broken by the sentence
of a General Court of Associators. We would pray the hon-
ourable House to reconsider this matter, and see if it is not
more agreeable to the rights of fretunen and the Constitution
of this Province, that all Military Officers, not exceeding tne
rank of a Colonial of a Battalion, should be voted in by bullet
annually, in the same manner as Members of the Assembly
Sheriflfs and other civil Officers; the Pi t^ Id -Officers, Standard-
Dearer, and Adjutant, by the Battalion at largo: and the Offi-
cers of a Troop or Company by the Troop or Company.
"Your p.^titioners are of opinion that Officers voted in this
manner would by no means be liable to disgrace upon the pro-
motion of others in their room, as their going out of office
might not be for any bad conduct alleged against then., but in
order to serve others equally worthy of notice; for annutil
election is so essentially necessary to the liberty of freemen,
that your Petitioners Iioik* the honourable House will be care-
ful not to deprive their constituents of it.
"Thirdly. Your Petitioners humbly conceive that the Regi-
mental and General Courts of Associators should consist of an
equal number of Officers and Court- Associators, (one of the
said officers to b(» President,) a-? we can see no reason why
there should »>easuperior number of officers in the said Courts;
because officers and privates of the Association, being engaged
in the same cause, ought to have the same m^xle of trial, be
tho offence what it will.
"Fourthly. The thirty-first article of Association enjoins the
Associators to be subject to all Rules and Articles already
made by the hononrabU? Continental Congress fur the govern-
ment of the (Continental Troops when called by the Assembly,
or the (Jonnnittee o." Safety in recess of Assembly, into actual
service. Your IVtitioners pray that the honourable House
would please to amend said article by allowing the Associators
to be trie<l for all ofTences and crimes, of which they may be
guilty, as mentioned in the said Rules and Articles when on ac-
tual service, in the \uiine way as is proposed above, viz: by an
equal number of their own officers and court -asso<dator8 : and,
where th^ ])unishinent directed by wiid rules and articles is to
be whipping, and the crime not made felony by the civil law,
that the delinquent shall have it in his power to evade such
whipping by paying a certain fine— such as the wisdom of the
AND MIMTIA OF THE REVOLUTION. 489

At a meeting of the Committee of York County, at York-
town, in Pennsylvania, the 14th day of February, 1775. Pre-
sent thirty -nine Members.
The Committee took into consideration the Proceedings of
the late Provincial Convention. &c.
1. Jiesoloed unanimotisli/j That we heartily approve of the
Proceedings of that Convention.
2. Resolved unanimously^ The Committee apprehending,
that from the Non-Import 'n Agreement, and the present
state of publick affairs, unless great care be taken, there
would, ill a short time, bo a scarcity of Gunpowder, which is
so necessary To our Indian trade and the hunters of this Pro-
vince ; therefon*, Resnlced, That we recommend it to the sev-
eral Members of tliis Committer, that they, in their respective
Townshii)s, with tlie assistance of the Township Committee-
men, <lo discourage the consuming of that article but for the
most useful purposes.
'l Resolmtl unanimoHsIy^ It bc^mg represented that sundry
pers()ns in this County had formed themselves into Military
Associations, and that they wouM discontinue them if dis-
agreeable to this Committee; upon consideration of which.
Resolved unaninionsly. That we by no means would discourage
those proceedings; on the contrary, we are of opinion that
such Associations, if conducted with prudence, moderation,
and a strict regard to good order, under the direction of men
of probity and understanding, would tend much to the security
of this country against the attempts of our enemies.
4. Resolfned unanimously. That we recommend to the inhal>i-
tantB of this County a Btriot adherence to the Association of
AND MILITIA OF THE REVOI.irTION. «4T
the Continental Conjp*ess, autl the directionn of our late Pro-
vincial Convention ; and that in case any Township Committee
should meet with obstruction in carrying the same into execu-
tion, that we will, and the rest of the County ought to, assist
them.
5. Resolved vnanimotisli/. That the Township Committee-
men in this County ought, as soon as possible, to collect the
Flour and Grain subscribed for the poor of Boston, and con-
vert the same into cAsh ; and that they immediately pay such
cash and all other moneys subscribed, iiuo the hands of Messrs.
John Donaldson and George Irwin, who, with the direction of
any ten of the Committee, are to remit the same in Bills of
Exchange to the Committee of Boston, for the poor of that
place.
6. Resoloed unanimousli/^ That in case the Committee of
Correspondence of this Province appointed at the last Conven-
tion, shall think proper, or if a majority of the County Com-
mittee shall consider it expedient that another Provincial Con-
vention should be held, we do appoint James Ewing, Michael
8woi)e, Jamos Smith, Thomas Hartley, and Henry Slagle,
Esquires, and George Irwin, George Eichelberger, David Ken-'
nedy, and John Houston, or any llvd or more of them, as tlie
deputies of this County to attend such Convention, and to
agree 1o such matters and things as may be deemed necessary
for the safety and welfare of this Province, or the common

HoNOURKD Friends AND Countrymrn : Sorry are we to
hear that the hand of oppression still bears hard on your city,
and that the distresses of your poor are not yet alleviated. If
your misfortunes and sufferings could be divided, the inhabi-
tants of this County would cheerfully bear a part. This, it
seems, cannot be done; your destined town must stand the
shock alone. Wo want words to express the high sense we
have of your conduct and virtue; few men in the world have
opposed despotism, and stood the torrent of ministerial ven-
geance with so mncli steadiness, intrepidity and resolution, as
the inhabitants of your Town and Country have done. You
have true notions of liberty. You have purchased it. You
ought to enjoy it. The noble stand made by the Province of
Massachusetts-Bay, if faithfully adhered to, has laid the foun-
dation for establishing American liberty on the most firm basis.

of tlie 15th ultimo, enclosing a resolve of the honourable Con-
tinental Congress of the 14th ultimo. We immediately sum-
moned the Committee of this County, and laid before them
your letter, &c. The Committee proceeded to the choice of
officers fit to be recommended to fhe Congress, to command
the company of riflemen to be raised, and appointed six Com-
missioners to provide necessaries for them. Ever7 resolve
passed in (/ommittee with the greatest unanimity, and the
gentlemen of Yorktown, after the meeting, dispersed them-
selves tlirougli the County, and assisted the officers in re-
cruiting.
The spirit of the people on this occasion gave the Commit-
tee infinite pleasure. The men seemed actuated with the
greatest zeal, and thought themselves honoured in having
their names enrolled among the Sons of Liberty, who are to
fight for their Country, and in defence of their dearest rights

Kifer, aiui B\xty-eight or more Privates; and it is expected,
that if there be a defect of Anus for these men, when there is
a necessity of K<>ing hito service, that the respective Batta-
lions to which they belong will furnish with the necessary
Arms.
/{evolved. That if the County Coniinittee-men and Assistant
(yoininittee-ineri, or a majority of them in any District, are at
any time of opinion that an additional Company or Companies
of Minutu-men can bo raised in their District, they may order
the same to be clone, which Company or Companies are to l)e
under the name Fiidd-Offlcers, orders, rules, and regulations,
with tho said other Companies of Minute-men. The whole
Battalion of each Division or District are directed to meet
stnue time in the next week, or in the week following, and
draught the Volunteers or proper persons as Minute-men for
the respective Companies, who are to sign an attestation sim-
ilar to that menti<med in the proceedings of this Committee.
The subscril)ers are then to proceed to choose the Officers of
the respective Companies, and make return of their names to
the Field-Officersof the said Battalion of Minute-men. in onier
that thev mav be commissioned.
Resolee<ly That in order to prevent confusion and disorder,
that no nt»w Comiuvnies of Militia be formed in any Township,
without the consent of tlie Committee-men of the Township,

Meeting of Freeholders of York County.
In Committer, York, August 31, 1775.
The Freeholders and other inhabitants of York County, en-
titled to vote for Representatives in Assembly, arb hereby re-
quired to meet at the Court-House in York Town, on Tuesday,
the seventeenth day of October next, to vote, by ballot or
ticket, for sixty-one peinions as a Committee for York County,
to continue for the 8i>ace of one j'ear then next following, if
from the change of publick affairs they may think it expedient
to dissolve themselves sooner. And as, from the dangers and
necessities of the times, powers of the greatest magnitude may
be exercised by those i>ersons or their Delegates, it is expected
that the meeting of the Freemen will^be general, and that they
will be judicious in the choice of i>ersons to represent them.
Each Township is desired to choose an Inspector, to attend at
the time and place aforesaid, who will be qualilied agreeable
to the rules prescribed for the election of the present Com-
mittee.
By order of the Committee :
Jamks Smith, Chairman.
In Committkk, Yorktown, September 14, 1775.
Gkntlkmkn : We take this opportunity of returning to you
an account of the number of Associations, and a list of the
Officers' names of this county : The number of Associators that
has been received by the Committee is, :1H40. There is a greater
number of Associates than the foregoing whose names we
have not received ; for the present we mention that number.
There were about 900 iion- Associators returned to the commit-
tee on the 28th of July last, many of whom have since asso-
ciated ; we cannot at this time undertake to return an exact
list of the lion -Associators, but shall do the same as soon as
possible. The Associators and the non- Associators that we
have an account of are chief! v taxable. We enclose \ on the
proceeiliiigs of the Oommittee and Officers of the Militia Com-
paTiies of this county. The divisions or battalions were formed
and the seniority of each battalion fixed on by a unanimous
vote; the mode fallen on was that each battalion should take

yon, that without any confusion or disputation, and w

that division. A new election would 'answer no good p

greater part of the men for tlie companies might be raised in

Thomas ARMOii, Clerk.
Letter to the General Committee,
In Committkk, York, February bth, 1776.
Gbntlrmen : — The inhabitants of this county, who have
been always ready to grant their assistance in favor of liberty
since the commencement of the x>i*esent unhappy dispute be-
tween Great Britain and these <?olonies, consider that on ac-
count of the shortness of the notice given by the board, that
they have not their proportion of the officers appointed in the
different battalions. The service suffers by this. The best
men and the flower of the youth will not engage with stran-
gers. The two Companies ordered in this county are already
nearly completed ; but Officers from other countiefe will not be
equally successful. Had more companies been ordered in
York County, and the Officers recommended from hence, we ap-
prehend they would have been in great forwardness. This
county is not very ambitious of having officerp, but it still
gives disgust to many persons to see numbers in the other
counties, not even equally qualified, and who have done noth-
ing in the common cause preferred, and themselves unnoticed.
The Committee of Correspondence met on the 5th inst. , and
came to the resolutions, which I beg leave to inclose, and hope
that they will meet with your iii>probation and weight. As it
is probable from the present situation of Mr. Swope's family
that he will not be able to attend you soon, Mr. Hartley, the
bearer, will be ready to wait on the Board, and give them some
material information relating to the above, as also some other
matters of consequence.
I am, (rentlemen, with the greatest Respect,
Your most Humble Servant,
Jamks Smith, Chairman.

lick manner, taken the liberty to speak in an anbeoomingr
manner against the meaHures now pursaing for the maintain-
ing our invaluable rights and privileges ; and, being called be-
fore us, was duly convicted thereof by sufficient testimony.
Whereupon he, the said Robert Owings, expressing his hearty
and unfeigned sorrow for his said conduct, agreed farther to
signify his entire disapprobation thereof, by signing the un-
derwritten declaration* which was voted satisfactory.

In Committee, York, May 28, 1776.
Sir : On Saturday last we were favoured with the company
of several of your respectable bo<iy, joined by others the worthy
citizens of Philadelphia, who laid before our town Committee,
immediately assembled for that purpose, the letters, votes and
proceedings of the City and liberties of the capital. The joy
we felt upon this interesting occasion may be more easily con-
ceived than expressed. Towards evening, a certain Charles
Stedman, attorney-at-law, came into town, and opened to his
liost his having certain papers tending to th« confirmation of
the i>ow*^r8 of Government iu the hands of the present Assem-
bly. This good citizen lost no time till he made the Committee
acquainted with the important discovery ; orders were there-
upon issued forthwith for securing Mr. Stedman's portman-
teau, and keeping an eye on his person, till he might be exam-
ined. On our Secretary's application, he readily confessed his
having three copies of the Remonstrance, issued by the party
too notoriously the enemies of the rights of freemen to find
much countenance here. Tl:ese copies he delivered to the Sec-
retary, and then, as well as njKin his examination, declared
that he found them at his father's house, in Philadelphia, and
wa.s there told they had been left by Mr. Andrew Robinson,
with a verbal request to carry them to William Maclay, Esquire,
at Sunbury. Nothing further appearing amongst the pack-
ages of Mr. Stedman, ho was suffered to pass, after he ha<l
regained, opened, and read a letter he had been seen convey-
ing to one of the prisoner's servants, which only discovered his
great affeetion for the worthy family of Doctor Kearsley, as
he was pleased to style them, and some other worthies of the
same ])olitical complexion.
AND MILITIA OP THE REVOLUTION. 559
: Mr. 8tedinan*8 departure from town was attended with such
•iroamBtances as caubed two young men, who came with
another large packet of these treasonable papers, directed to
Messrs. Johnston & Lukens here, to decamp with precipita-
tion. These carriers told the landlord they liad received their
charge from Doctor Smith and Phineas Bond, at Lancaster.
Our Committed being early assembled, Messrs. Lukens &
Johnston showed an anonymous letter, directed to them both,
requesting them to forward the letters and remonstrances
without loss of time, and the Evening Posts, and to request
their dis|)atch in procuring the signing of those papers in their
several Districts. On the delivery of the bundle to the Com-
mittee, it appeared filled with remonstrances and Evening
Posts, and sundry sealed letters, one of which, directed to
Henry Wolfe, of York town, was oi>eued by Ins consent and
read, a copy of which is enclosed.
By this discovery, the Committee judged it proper to retain
all the other letters till Friday next, when a meeting of the
County Committee is warned to take all these important mat-
ters into consideration. You may depend upon the event of
this meeting to be favourable to the cause of liberty, as the
sense of the town militia was taken yesterday, and I am happy
in being able to assure you that not a single dissentient or
even cool person apf>eared in four large companies. By order
of the Committee.
I am, gentlemen, your most humble servant,
James Smith, Chairman,
To the Honourable Committee of Inspection and Observa-
tion of the City and Liberties of Philadelphia.
Ix Committer for York County, Jfaj/30, 177G.
Present : Fifty-five Members. Col. Robert McPherson in the
Chair.
The Resolve of the honourable Continental Congress, of the
15th instant, being read, was most cordially agreed to and
thankfully accepted; and
Resolved, That a delegation from this body, of nine mem-
bers, be ordered to attend the Conference of Committees at
Philadelphia, the 18rh day of June next, to consider of the
best and most effectual measures for carrying into execution
and settling the preliminary steps for the election of a Provin-
cial Convention, to form a Constitution founded on "the au-
thority of the i)eople."
Resolced, That as former Legislative powers of this Provinoe
cannot act without being under oaths or afUrmations toth
500 ASSOCIATED BATTALIONS
Kirifjf of Great Britain, and dependent on him, whioh, by the
cruel and wicked proceedings of tliat King and Parliament of
Great Britain, more especially by a late Act of Parliament dn-
claring tne (/olonists Rebels, and cutting tiiem off from the
protection of that Crown, the same has become incapable of
legislation, an<l in that respect totally extinct; but
Resolved nectrttielessy That the Executive powers of Govern-
ment ought to proceed in the usual channel, and that the laws
heretofore made be put in due execution, until a Government,
formed on the authority of the people only, takes place, agree-
able to the resolves of Congress of the I5th instant.
Resolved^ That Mr. James Rankin, lately chosen a member
to represent this County in Assembly, in sending seven Let-
ters and a bundle of Remonstrances to seven inhabitants of
this County, for the express purpose of getting those Remon-
strances signed by tlit? [leople here, and transmitted to Phila-
delphia (which RemonstranctiS can be calculated for no other
purpose than to draw this Province ofT from the present union
with the other (.^olonies, or to divide the people so as to fall
an easy prey to our inveterate enemies), has violated the trust
reposed in him by the good people of this County.
Resolved^ That should any i>erson or persons be so lost to all
sense of duty to the publick as to attempt to procure signers
to said poisonous and destructive Remonstrance in this county,
that the said person or persons will be considered as violators
of the Resolves of Congress, and inimical to the liberties
of Amercia.

hail a bad effect upon the public and restrained many from
signing the said Association ; and in general set his district in
great confusion, and was very prejudicial to the general Ser-
vice of defending the Rights of America.
Col. Geiger informs against Michael Ohi to the same purpose*.
John Feller, of Heidelbergh, informs also to the same pur-
pose.
After hearing evidence on both sides respecting the conduct
& behavior of Michael Olil, it does appear to this Committee
that he is highly culpable and blamable in opposing himself to
tl)e utmost of his power against the salutary measures of the
Honourable House of Assembly for Associating our&elves to-
gether in defence of the sacred Liberties of America. It is
therefore
Resolved, that he sign a Recantation now drawn up by this
Committee and pay all Costs Accrued hereupon, and also that
hediscontinue a certain Action brought by him against the said
Michael Pobst in the Court of Common Pleas of this County ;
otherwise to be published in the Publick Newspapers as nn
Enemy to the Common Cause of America.
Resolved, That the said Recantation when signed be pub-
lished in the English and German Newspapers.
Whereupon he subscribed the said Recantation accordingly.
" Easton, June 1^, 177a
" Whereas, 1 tlie subscriber have most imprudently and in-
discreetly reported and spread abroad throughout the said

Battalion of Associators in this County, formerly a Captain in
Weisenburgh Townsliio, hail unjustly received and taken at
Philadelphia twenty shillings per head for every subscriber to
the printed book of Association in the Township aforesaid,
by which means many well wishers of the American cause were
deterred from signing or associating together agreeable to the
resolves of the honourable House of Assembly ; and being now
sensible of my folly and guilt, do hereby ask pardon for my
offended fellow-citizens, promising in future to conduct myself
so as to regain their good will and approbation.

to receive and take the arms from the Non-Assooiators and
other disaffected persons, agreeable to the resolves of the hon-
ourable House of Assembly; and that we did most imprudently
refuse to deliver up the same, and also did refuee to pay any
obedience to the Hummons of the Committee of this County,
who were therefore obliged to send a party of Associntors to
compel us to answer for our misoonduct ; and thatwa did then
resist their authority by loaded fire-arms to the endangering uf

any manner deserted his Comp'y, but that on the con!rary
that by his good conduct saved above twenty of his Ooiiip'y.
who would have either been killed or taken prisoners.
John Lyle, being examined, declared that he was in company
with (^apt. Arndt in Fort Washington the day before the Bat-

while in the Fort, he did not hear it mentioned that they ex-
()ected an Kngageihent ; and that the said iivle was sure, if it
had l)een talked of he would have heard it, he having had sev-
eral acquaintances there.
Upon hearing the above Evidences it appears that the sev-
eral charges laid against Capt. Arndt by Frederick Reeger are
false and groundless; ami that the said Frederick is highly
bhunabh^ in spreading such reports to the prejudice of said
Capt", And therefore Ordered that the said Frederick make
acknowledgement to Capt. Arndt for his misconduct.

WESTMORELAND RESOLVES.
[The Records of the "Committee of Inspection" for tlie
County of Westmoreland are not to our Icnowledi^e in exist-
ence, having probably been destroyed inthe Burningof Hannahs
town, in July, 1782. These patriotic Resolves, however, have
been preserved owing to the fact that they appeared in the
Philadelphia newspapers of the day, as the sentiment of the
brave ami undaunted frontiersmen in Western Pennsylvania.
At a general meeting of the inhabitants of the County of
Westmoreland, held at Hanna's Town the 16th day of May, 1775,
for taking into consideration the very alarming situation of
this Country, occasioned by the dispute with Great Britain :
Uesoloed unanimously^ That the I^arliament of Great Britain,
by several late Acts, have declared the inhabitants of the Mas-
8tichu8etts-J3ay to be in rebellion, and the Ministry, by endeav-
oring to enforce those Acts, have attempted to reduce the said
inhabitants to a more wretched state of slavery than ever be-
fore existed in any state or country. Not content with violat-
ing their constitutional and chartered privileges, they would
strip them of the rights of humanity, exposing lives to the
v^anton and unpunishable sport of a licentious soldiery, and
depriving them of the very means of subsistence.
Resoimd unanimously^ That there is no reason to doubt but
the same system of tyranny and oppression will (Should it meet
with success in the Massachusetts Bay) be extended to every
other part of America ; it is therefore become the indispensi-
ble duty of every American, of every man whohasany publick
virtue or love for his Country, or any compassion for ix>s-
terity, by every means which God has put in his i)ower, to re-
sist and oppose the execution of it; that for us we will U)
ready to oppose it with our lives and fortunes. And the bet-
ter to enable us to accomplish it, we will imme<iiat'ely form
ourselves into a military body, to consist of companies to be
made up out of the several Townships under the following As-
sociation, which is declared to be the Association of Westmore-
land County.

LOCHKY'S EXPEDITIOJS^.
[In the suininer of 1781, Colonel Arohil)ald Lochry,L
of Westinorelaiul county, raihed Heveral companies
tern, of which he was chonen (yoinniander, for the p
joining the force of Col. George Rogers Clark on an «
against the Shawanese and other Indian towns in •
scout designs against the British post at Detroit. Th
one hundred and seven mounted volunteers rendea
Carnahan's Block House, eleven miles west of Hann
on the 24th of July, 1781.
[They uegan their march on the 2<l of August, hywi
Pitt to Port Henry (Wheeling), where thev arrived c
ahout twelve hours after Col. Clark witn all the n
and stores he could gather had departed, leaving <
Col. Lochry to follow and overtake him at the mout
Kanawha. Several days were consumed by Col. Loch
ing started. In the meantime ('lark's men began
and Lochry apprehended Lieutenant Baker and si]
who were deserting from Clark at Fishing Creek. 1
desertion Col. (Mark was obliged to proceed from the
leaving a letter affixed to a pole directing Lochry t
the Palls of the (^liio. Lochry s stores and forage g

not inoloHt liiiii, hut conchided to wait for Lochry's party. It
is sai<i that the Indians placsed the prisoners they had taken
in a conspicuous position on the north shore of the Ohio River
and pronnse<l to si>are their lives on condition that they would
hail Lochry's party and induce them to land and surrender.
However this may have been, at about 10 o'clock on August
24th, Lochry having readhed an attractive spot about ten miles
below the month of the Big Miami, near the present town of
Aurora, Dearborn County, Indiana, landed on the north sicie
of the Ohio River iii the mouth of a creek which has since been
called Lochry s Creek. The Ohio River was very low and a
large sandbar extended from the south almost across to the
north bank of the river. Col. Lochry's t>arty, wearied with
their slow and laborious progress and discouraged by the fail-
ure to overtake Clark's army, removed their horses ashore and
turned them loose to feed while some of the men cut grass
sufficient to keep them alive until they should reach the Falls.
A buffalo had l>een killed anil all were engaged in pre^^aring a
meal, when the Indians appeared on both sides of the river,
and began firing from the woods. The soldiers seized their
arms and made a defense as long ns their ammunition held
out. An attempt was made to escape by the boats, but they
were so unwieldy and the water so low that the Indians cut
them off. Unable to escape or defend themselves, Col. Lochry
surrendered. Brant, the Indian Chief, says thirty-six, in-
cluding five officers, were Killed and sixty-four made prisoners.
One or two escaped, but did not reach home for several months
afterward. Lochry was tomahawked by a Shawanese Indian
after the battle while sitting on a log, and all the wouuded
who were unable to march were similarly dispatched. The
prisoners were marched eight miles up the Miami River, sub-
■*equently taken to Detroit, and sent from there to Montreal.
Of the officers and men, we have the names of only a few, those
herewith given. |

NARRATIVES OF THE EXPEDITION.
[The foJlowiii^ narratives of two of the survivors of Craw-
ford's Expedition to Sandusky were given to the public shortly
after the return of tlie narrators. It is deemed i)erfectly pro-
per to reproduce them in connection with the preceding. That
of Dr. Knight was written by himself, that of Sloveras related
!)y him was taken down by H. Bracken ridge. 1
NARRATIVE OP DR. KNIOHT.
About the latter end of the month of March or the beginning
of April, of the present year (1782), the western Indians began
to make incursions upon the frontiers of Ohio and Washing-
ton. Youghiogany and Westmoreland counties, which has been
their constant practice ever since the conimeuoement of the
present war between the United States and Great Britain.
In consequence of these predatory invasions, the principal
oflScers of the above mentioned counties, namely : Colonels
Williamson and Marshall, tried every method in their power
to set on foot an expedition against the Wyandot towns, which
they could effect no other way than by giving all possible en-
couragement to vol u nteers. The plan proposed was ad follows :
Every man furnishing himself with a horse, a gun, and one
month's provisions, should be exempt from two tours of militia
duty. Likewise, that every one who had been plundered by
the Indians, should, if the plunder could be found at their
towns, liave it again, proving it to be his property, and all
horses lost on the expedition by unavoidable acciient were
to be replaced by horses taken in the enemy's country.
The time appointed for the rendezvous, or the general meet-
ing of the volunteers, was fixed to be on the 20th of May, and
the place, the old Mingo town, on the west side of the river
Ohio, about forty miles below Fort Pitt, by land ; and I think
about seventy-five by water.
Col. Crawford was solicited by the general voice of these
western counties and districts to command the expedition. He
accordingly set out as a volunteer, and came to Fort Pitt two
days before the time appointed for the assembling of the men.

The volunteerH had not all crossed the river unt

There were four hundred and sixty-five that voted
We began our march on Saturday, May 25th, making
due West oourbe, and on the fourth day reach the old 1
town, upon the river Muskingum, about 60 miles from
Ohio. Some of the men having lost their horses on t
preceding, returned home.

afterwards.
On Thursday, the 4th of June, which was the ele
of our march, about one o'clock we came to the f
the town of Sandusky formerly stood ; the inhabi
moved 18 miles lower down the creek nearer the 1
dusky ; but as neither our guides or any who were ^
known any thing of their removal, we began to
there were no Indian towns nearer than the lower
which was at least forty miles distant.
However, after refreshing our horses we advance

horsi^rnen may advance aconsi<lerab]e clistaiice before an army
wirtiout b«ing much exposed to the enemy.
Just as the council decided, an express r**turne*l from the
above mentioned party of light liorse with intelligence that
they had been about three miles in front, and had seen a large
body of Indians running towards them. In a short time wh
saw the. rest of the light horse, who joined us. and having gone
one mile further, met a number of Indians who had partly got
possession of a piece of woods before us, whilst we were in the
plains; but our men alighting from their horses and rushing
into the woods, soon obliged them to abandon that place.
The enemy being by this time reinforced, flanked to the
right, and part of them coming in nearer, quickly made the
action more serious. The flring continued very warm on botli
sides from four o'clock until the dusk of the evening, each
{)arty maintaining tlieir ground. Next morning about six
o'clock their guns were discharged, at the distance of two or
three hundred yards, which continued till day, doing little
or no executi<m on either side.
The field officers then assembled aiul agreed, as the <Miemy
were every moment increasing, and we had alr.ea<ly a number
<»f wounded, to retreat that night. The whole bo<ly was to
form into three lines, keeping the wounde<l in the centre.
We had four killed and twenty-three wounded, of the latter,
seven very dangerously, on which account as many biers were
got ready to carry them ; most of the rest were slightly
wounded and none so bad but they could ride on horseback.
After dark the officers went on the out |)osts and brought in all
the men as ex])editiously as they could. Just as the troops
were about to form, several guns were fired by the enemy,
ui>on which some of our men spoke out and said our intenti'^n
was discoveretl by the Indians who were firing alarm guns.
Upon which some in front liurrieul off an<l the rest immediately
fcjJlowed, leaving the seven men that were dangerously
wounded, some of whom however got ofT on horseback, by
means of some good friends, who waited for, and assisted then*.
We had not got a quarter of a mile from the field of action
when I heard C.o\. Crawford calling for liis son, John Crawford,
his son-in-law. Major Harrison, Major Rose and William Craw-
ford, his nephews, uix>n which T came up and told him I be-
lieved they were on before us. He fiske<l was that the doctor?
I toI<i him it was. He then replied they were not in front, and
begged of me not to leave him. I promised him I would not.
We then waited and continued calling for these men till the
troops had im8.«<ed us. The Colonel told me his horse liad almost
given out, that he could not keep up with the troops, and
728 ASSOCIATED HATTALiONS
raged againnt the prisoners; particularly Captain Pipe, one of
the chiefs; he likewise told me that Girty had informed hinr
that his son-in-law, Col. Harrison and his nephew, William
Crawford, were made prisoners by the Shawanese, but had
been pardoned. This Captain Pipe had come from the town
about an hour before Col. Crawford, and liad painted all the
prisoners' faces black As he was painting me he told me 1
should go to the Shawanese towns and see my friends. When
the Col. arrived he painted him black also, told him he w<i.s
glad to see him and that he would have him shaved when he
came to see his friends at the Wyandot town. When we
marched, the Col. and 1 were kept back between Pipe and
Wingenund, the two Delaware chiefs, the other nine prisoners
were sent forwanl with another party of Indians. As we went
along we saw four of the prisoners lying by the path toma-
hawked and scalped, some of them were at the distance of half
a mile from each other. When we arrived within half a mile
of the place where the Col. was executed, we overtook the five
prisoners that remained alive; the Indians had caused them
to sit down on the ground, as they did also the Col. and me at
some distance from them. I was there given in charge to an
Indian fellow to be taken to the Shawanese towns.
In the place where we were now made to sit down there was
a number of squaws and boys, who fell on the five prisoners
and tomahawked them. There was a certain John MoKlnly
amongst the prisoners, formerly an officer in the 13th Virginia
regiment, whose liead an old squaw cut off, and the Indians
kicked it about upon the grouiul. The young Indian fellows
came often where the Col. and I were, and dashed the scalps
in our faces. We were then comiucted along towards the place
where the Col. was afterwanis executed ; when we came with-
in about half a mile of it, Simon Cfirty met us, with several
Indians on horseback ; he spoke to the Col., but as I was about
one hundred and flftv yards behind could not hear what
passed between them.
Almost evt'rv Indian we met struck us either with sticks or
their fists. Crirty waite<l till I was brought up and asked, was
that the doctor?— I told him yes. and went towards him reach-
ing out my hand, but he bid me begone and calle<l me a
damned rascal, uj)on which the fellows who had me in charge
pnlli'd me along. Cfirty rrxle up after me and told me I wasto
go to tlie Shawanose towns. When we wtMit to the fire the Col.
was stripped naked, ordered to sit down by the fire and then
tliey b(»at him with sticks an<l their fists. Presently after I
was treated in the same manner. They then tied a rope to
the foot of a post about fifteen feet high, hound the Col's

us coine up, was afraid of Indians, hid it in a thicket and made
otT. Upon this we g^ave him some bread and roasted venison,
proceeded all together on our journey, and about two o'clock
came upon the paths by which we had gone out. Capt. Biggs
and myself did not think it safe to keep the road, but the <'ol-
onel said the Indians would not follow the troops farther than
the plains, which we were then considerably past. As the
wounded officer rode Capt. Biggs' horse, I lent the Captain
mine. The Colonel and myself went about one hundred yards
in front, the Cai>tain and the woumied officer in the centre,
and the two young men behind. After we hatl traveled about
one mile and a half, several Indians started up within fifteen
or twenty steps of the Colonel and me. As we at first discov-
ered only three, I immediately got behind a large black oak,
made ready my piece and raised it up to take sight, when the
< -olonel called to me twice not to fire, u|>on that one of the In-
ilians ran up to the Colonel and took him by the hand.
They were Delaware Indians of the Wingenund tribe. Cap-
tain Biggs fired amongst them but did no ex< ution. They
then told us to call these people and make them come there,
else they would go and kill them, which the Colonel did, but
they forgot us and escaped for that time. The Colonel and I
were then taken to the Indian camp, which was about half a
mile from the place where we were captured. On Sunday
evening five Delawares who had posted themselves at some
<listance further on the road brought back to the camp, where
we lay. Captain Biggs' and Lieutenant Ashley's scalps, with
an Indian scalp which Captain Biggs had taken in the field of
action ; tliey also brought in Biggs' horse and mine, they told
us the other two men got away from them.
Monday morning, the tenth of June, we were paraded to
march to Sandusky, about thirty-three miles distant; they
had eleven prisoners of us and four scalps, the Indians being
seventeen in number.
Col. Crawford was very desirous to see a certain Simon
<j»irty, who lived with the Indians, and was on this account
]>ermitted to go to town the same night, with two warriors to
guard him, having orders at the same time to pass by the place
where the Col. had turned out his horse, that they might if
(K^ssible, find him. The rest of us were taken as far as the old
to^\ n which was within eight miles of the new
Tuesday morning, the eleventh, Colonel Crawford was
brought out to us on purpose to be marched in with the other
prisoners. I asked the Col. if he had seen Mr. Girty? He told
nK^ he had, and that Girty ha<l promised to do every thing in
his ijower for him, but that the Indians were very much en-

along we saw fonr of the prisoners lying by the pat
hawked and Kc^l{>ed, some of them were at thedistan
a mile from each other. When we arrived within ha
of the place where the Col. was executed, we overtool
prisoners that remained alive; the Indians had oauf
to sit down on the ground, as they did also the Col. a
some distance from them. I was there given in chai

In the place where we were now ma<le to sit down '
a number of squaws and boys, who fell on the five
and tomahawked them. There was a certain John
amongst the prisoners, formerly an officer in the 13tl
regiment, whose head an old squaw out off, and th
kicked it about uiH)n the ground. The young Indii
came often where the Col. and I were, and dashed
in our faces. We were then conducted along toward
where the Col. was afterwards executed ; when we c
in about lialf a mile of it, Simon Oirty met ns, wl
Indians on horseback ; he 8i>oke to the Col., but as I

hands behind liis back and fastenml tlie ropa to the li^^ature
iMJtween his wrists. Tlie rope was long enough for him to hit
down or walk around the post onre or twice and return the
same way. The Col. then called to Girty and asked if they in-
tended to burn him?— Girty answered, yes. The Col. said lie
would take it all patiently. Upon this Captain Pipe, a Dela-
ware chief, made a speech to the Indians, viz: about thirty
or forty men, sixty or seventy squaws and boys.
When the speech was finished they all yelled a hideous and
hearty assent to what had be^n said. Tlie In<iian men then
took up their guns and shot powder into the Colonel's IkkIv,
from his feet as far up as his neck, i think not less than sev-
enty loads were discharged u|)on his naked body. Then they
crowded about him, and to the best of my observation, cut ofT
his ears ; when the throng had dispersed a little I saw the blood
running from both sides of his head in consequence thereof.
The flre was about six or seven yards from the post to which
the Colonel was tied; it was made of small hickory iK>les,
burnt quite through in the middle, each end of the poles re-
maining al>out six feet in length. Three or four Indians l)y
turns would take up, individually, one of these burning pieces
of wood and apply it to his naked body, already burnt black
with powder. These tormentors presented themselves on every
side of him with the burning faggots and poles. _8ome of th»*
squaws took broa<l boards, upon which they would carry a
quantity of burning coals ami hot embers and throw on him,
so that in a »hort time he had nothing but coals of fire and hc»t
a.shes to walk upon.
In the midst of these extreme tortures, he calle<l to Simou
Girty and begged of him to shoot iiim ; but Girty making ii<»
answer he ciilled to him again. Girty then, by way of deri-
sion told the Colonel he had no gun, at the same time turninj^
about to an Indian who was behind him, laughed heartly, and
by all his gestures seemed delighte<l at the horrid scene.
Girty then CAme up to me and bade me prepare for death.
He said, liowever, I was not to die at that place, but to b«'
burnt at the Shawanese towns. He swore bv G— d I need no.
expect to escape death, but should suffer it in all its extrem-
ities.
He then observed, that some prisoners had given him to un-
derstand, that if our |)eople had had him they would not hurt
him; for his part, he said, he did not believe it, but desired
to know my opinion of the matter, but b«*ing at that time in
great anguish and distress for the torments the Colonel was
suffering before my eyes, as well as the expectation of under-
going tlie same fate in two days, I made little or no answer.

been burnt down to about 18 inches lonjj; it was the longest
stick 1 could find, yet ten) small for the purpose I had in view ;
tlien I picked up another smaller stick and teikingacoal of fire
between them went behind him ; then turning suddenly about,
I struck him on the head with all the force I was master of;
which so stunned him that he fell forward with both his hands
into the fire but seeing him recover and get up, I seized his
gun while he ran olT howling in a most fearful manner. I fol-
l»)wed him with a determination to shoot him down, but pull-
ing back the cock of the gun with too great violence, I believe
I broke the main spring. I pursued him, however, aljout
thirty yards, still en<leavoring to fire the gun, ])ut could not;
then going back to the fire I took his blanket, a pair of new
moccasins, liis hopi>es, |x>wder horn, bullet bag (together with
the gun), and marched ofT, directing my course toward the five
o'clock mark ; about half an hour before sunset 1 came to the
plains which I think are about sixteen miles wide. I laid me
<lown in a thicket till dark, and then by the assistance of the
North star made my way tlirough them and got into ihe
wootls before morning. I proceeded on the next day, and
al>out noon crossed the paths by which our troops had gone
out ; these i>aths are nearly East and West, but I went due
North all that afternoon with a view to avoid the enemv.
In the evening I began to be very faint, and no wonder; I
had been six days prisoner; the last two days of which 1 had
eat nothing, and but very little the first three or four ; there
were wild gooseberries in abundance in the woo<1s, but being
unripe, required mastication, which at that time I was not
able to jjerform on account of a blow received from an Indian
on the jaw with the back of a tomahawk. There was a weed
that grew plentifully in that place, the juice of which I knew
to be grateful and nourishing; I gathered a bundle of the
same, took up my lodging under a large spreading beech tree
and having sucked plentifully of the juice, went to sleep. Next
day, I made a due Ea.»<t course which I generally kept the rest
(*( my journey. I often imagined my gun was only wootl
bound, and tried every method I could devise to unscrew the
lock but never could effect it, having no knife nor any thing
fitting for the purpose, I had now the satisfaction to find my
jaw began to mend, and in four or five days could c'.:ew any
vegetable proper for nourishment, but finding my gun only a
useless burden, left it in the wilderness. I had no apparatus for
making fire to sleep by, bo that I could get but little rest for
the gnats and musketoes: there are likewise a great many
swamps in the beech ridge, which occiisioned me very often to
lie wet ; this ridge through which I traveled, is about 20 miles
many white oaks, asii lum ,*.»,.»,.. ^.
beech timber; there are likewise some place?- on the rid
liapH for three or four continued miles where there is
no beech, and in Huch 8|>ots, l)lack, whiteoak, iish and
aboimd. Sugar trees grow there also to a very great
the soil is remarkal)Iy good, the ground a little ascend
tlescending with some small rivulets and a few springs,

the lands were more broken but equally rich with thoe
mentioned, and abounding with brooks and springs ol
there are also several small creeks that empty into tha
the bed of which is more than a mile wide in many pla
woods consist of white and black oak, walnut, hick*
sugar trees in the greatest abundance. In all partf
country through which I came the game wasvory plei
is to say, deer, turkeys and pheasants; I likewise saw
many vestiges of bears and some elks.
1 crossed the river Muskingum about three or four
low Fort liawrence, and crossing all paths aimed for
river. All this time my food was gooseberries, youn^
the juice of herbs, a few service berries, and some Ma
likewise two young blackbirds and a terrapin, wh
voured raw. When my foo<l sat heavy on my stoinar
to eat a little wild ginger which put all to rights.

events of that expedition ; it will be BufHcient to obnerve, that
having on Tuesday the fourth of June, fought the enemy near
Sandusky, we lay chat night in our camp, and the next day
flred on each other at the distance of throe hundred yards,
doing little or no execution. In the evening of that day it
was proposed by Col. Crawford, as I have since been informed,
to draw off with order; but at the moment of our retreat the
Indians (who had prol>ably perceived that we were al>out to
retreat) firing alarm guns, our men broke and rode off in con-
fusion, treading down those who were on foot, and leaving
the wounded men who supplicated to be taken with them.
I was with some others on the rear of our troops feeding our
liorses in the glade, when our men began to break. The main
body of our people had passed by me a considerable distance
before I was ready to set out. I overtook them before tliey
crossed the glade, and was advanced almost in front. The
company in which I was had separated from me, and had en-
deavored to pass a morass, for coining up I found their horses
had stuck fast in the morass, and endeav\3ring to pass, mine
also in a short time stuck fast. I ought to have said, the ooni-
I>any of five or six men with which I had been immediately
connected, and who were some distance to the right of the
main body, had separated from me, &c. I tried a long time to
disengage my horse, until I could hear the enemy just behind
me, and on each side, but in vain. Here then I was obliged to
leave him. The morass was so unstal)le that I was to the mid-
die in it, and it was with the greatest diflSoulty that I got
across it, but which having at length done, I came up with
the six men who had left their horses in the same manner I
had done; two of these, my companions, having lost their
guns.
We traveled that night, making our course towards Detroit,
with a view to shun the enemy, who we conceived to have
taken the paths by which the main body of our people had re-
treated. Just before day we got nto a second deep morass, and
were under the necessity of delaying until it was light to see
our way through it. The whole of this day we traveled
towards the Shawanese towns, with a view of throwing our-
selves still farther out of the search of the enemy. About ten
o'clock this day we sat down to eat a little, having tasted noth-
ing from Tuesday, the day of our engagement until this time
which was on Thursday, and now the only thing we had to
eat was a scrap of pork to each. We had sat down by a war-
rior's path which we had not suspected, when eight or nine
warriors appeared. Running off hastily we left our baggage
and provision, but were not discovered by the party; for
7:J6 ASSOCIATED BATTALIONS
This town is small and we were told was alx>ut two miles dis-
tant from the main town to which they intended to carry us.
The inhabitants from this town came out with clubs and tom-
ahawks, struck, beat and abused us g^reatly. One of my two
companions they seized, and having stripped him naked,
blacked him with coal and water. This was the sign, of being
burnt ; the man seemed to surmise it and shed tears, lie asked
me the meaning of his being blacked ; but I was forbid by the
enemy in their own language, to tell him what was intended.
In English, which they spoke easily, having been often at Fort
Pitt, they assured him he was not to be hurt. I know of no
reason for making him the first object of their cruelty unless
it was that he was the oldest.
A warrior had been sent to the great town to acquaint them
with our coming and prepare them for the frolic ; for on our
o.oming to it, the inhabitants came out with guns, clubs and
tomahawks. We were told that we had to run to the council
house, al>out three hundred yards. The man that was blacked
was about twenty yards before us in running the gauntlet.
They made him their principal object, men, women and chil-
dren beating him, and those who had guns firing loads of pow-
<ler on him as he ran naked, putting the muzzels of the guns
to his body, shouting, hallooing and beating their drums in the
meantime.
The unhappy man had reached the door of the council house,
heat and wounded in a manner shocking to the sight ; for hav-
iiif^ arrived before him we had it in our power to view the spec-

Agreeable to the declaration of the enemy, when he first
set out he had reason to think himself secure when he had

hope, for coming up with great struggling and endeavors, he

them ; finding they intenderl no mercy, but putting him to
death, he attempted several times to snatch or lay hold of some
of their tomahawks, but being weak could not effect it. We
saw him borne off, and they were a longtime beating, wound-
ing and j>ursuing and killinj? him. That same evening I saw
the dead bodv of this man close bv the council house. It was
mangled cruelly, and the blood mingled with the powder was
rendered black. The same evening I saw him after he had
been cut to pieces, and his limbs and head about two hundred

could not. When the Indians fired I ran to a tree, but an In-
dian presenting liimself fifteen yardu l)efore ine, directed ine
to deliver myself up and 1 should not be hurt. My gun was
in good order, but apprehending the enemy behind might dis-
charge their pieces at me, I did not risk firing, which I ha^l
afterwards reason to regret when I found what was to be my
fate, and that the Indian who was before me and presented
Ids gun was one of those who had just before fired. Two oi
my companions ^ere taken with me in the same manner, the
Indians assuring us we should not be hurt. But one in com-
pany, James Paul, who had a gun in order, made his escape
and has since come into Wheeling. One of these Indians
knew me, and was of the i>arty by whom I was taken in the
last war. He came up and spoke to me calling me by my In-
dian name, Mannuchothee, and upbraiding me for coming to
war against them.
I will take a moment here to relate some particulars of my
first captivity and my life since. I was taken from New River
in Virginia by the Miamese,a nation called by us Picts, amongst
whom I lived six years, afterwards l>eing sold to a Delaware and
by him put into the hands of a trader. I was carried amongst
the Shawanese, with whom I continued six years; so that my
whole time amongst these nations was twelve years, that is
from the eighth to the twentieth year of my age. At the treaty
of Fort Pitt, in the fall preceding what is called Dunmore's
War. which if I nm right, was in the year 1773, I came in with
the Shawanese nation to the treaty, and meeting with some
of my relations at tliat place, was by them solicited to relin-
quish the life of a savage, which I did with some reluctance,
this manner of life having become natural to me. inasmuch as
I had scarcely known any other. I enlisted as a soldier in the
continental army at the commencement of the present war,
and served fifteen months. Having been properly discharged
I have since married, have a family and am in communion
with the church.
To return, the party by whom we were made prisoners had
taken some horses, and left them at the glades we had passed
the day before. They \\en\ followed on our tracks from these
glaxles, on our return to which we found the horses and rode.
We were carried to Wachatomakak, a town of the Mingoes
and Shawanese. I think it was on the third day we reached
the town, which when we were approaching, the Indians in
whose custody we were, began to look sour, having been kind
to ns before and given us a little meat and flour to eat, which
t hey had found or taken from some of our men on their retreat.

yards on the outside of the town put on poles. That evening also
I 8aw the bodies of three others in the same black and mangled
condition ; these I was told had been put to death the same
day, and just before we had reached the town. Their Inxlies as
they lay were black, bloody, burnt with powder. Two of these
were Harrison^ and young Crawford. t I knew the visage of
OoJ. Harrison, and I saw his clothing and that of young Craw-
ford at the town. They brought hontes to me and asked if I
knew them. I said they were Harrison and Crawford's ; they
said they were.
The third of these men I did not know, but believe to have
been Col. McCleland, the third in command on the expedition.
The next day the bodies of these men were dragged to the
outside of the town and their carcasses being given to the dogs,
their limbs and heacls were stuck upon poles.
My surviving companion shortly after we had reached the
council house was sent to another town, and I presume, he
was burnt or executed in the same manner.
In the evening the men assembled in the council house ; this
U a large building about fifty yards in length, and about
twenty-five yards wide, and about sixteen feet in height, built
of split poles covered with bark ; their first object was to exam-
ine me, which they could do in their own language, inasmuch as
I could speak the Miami, Shawanese and Delaware languages,
which I had learned during my early captivity in the last war ;
I found I had not forgotten these languages, especially the two
former, as well as ray native tongue.
They began with interrogating me, concerning the situation
of our country, what were our provisions? our numbers? the
state of the war between us and Britain? I informed them

carrying tidings of our affairs. When any of your people fall
into the hands of the rebels, they show no mercy; why then
should you taKe prisoners? Take no more prisoners, my chil-
dren, of any sort ; man, woman or child. "
Two tiays after, a party of every nation that was near being
collected, it was deter mineil on to take no more prisoners cf
any sort. They had held a large council, and the determina-
tion was, that if it were possible they could find a child of a
span or three inches long, they would show no mercy to it. At
the conclusion of thi^ council it was agreed upon by all the
tribes present, viz: the Tawaws, Chippawaws, the Wyandots,
the MIngoes, the Dela wares, the Shawanese, Muuses, and a
part of the Cherokees, that should any of the nations who
were not present take any prisoners, these would rise against
them, take away the prisoners and put them to death.
In the course of these deliberations I understood what was
said perfectly. They laid plans against our settlements of Ken-
tucky, the Palls, and towards Wheeling. These it will be un-
necessary for me to mention in this narrative, more especially
as the Indians finding me to have escaped, and knowing that I
would not fail to communciate these designs, will be led to alter
their resolutions.
There was one council held at which I was not present. The
warriors had sent for me as usual, but the squaw with whom
I lived would not suffer me to go, but hid me under a large
quantity of skins. It may have been from an unwillingness
that I should bear in council the determination with respect
to me, that I should be burnt.
About this time, twelve men were brought in from Kentucky,
three of whom were burnt on this day ; the remainder were
distributed to other towns, and all, as the Indians informed
me, were burnt. This was after the speech came from De-
troit.
On the day after, I saw an Indian who had just come into
town, and who said that the prisoner he was bringing to be
burnt, and who he said was a doctor, had made his escape from
him. I knew this must have been Dr. Knight, who went as
surgeon of the expedition. The Indian had a wound four inches
long in his liead, which he acknowledged the doctor had given
him ; he was cut to the skull. His story was that he had un-
tied the doctor, being asked by him to do so, the doctor prom-
ising that he would not go away ; that while he was employed
in kindling the fire the doctor snatched up the gun had come
behind and struck him; that he then made a stroke at the
doctor with his knife, which he laid hold of, and his fingers
were cut almost off, the knife being drawn through his band;

when at len^^tli, about an hour h.^fore daybreak, two laiil
flown, tlie third smoked a pipe, ttvlke^l to me and asked the
Hame pahiful questions. About half an hour after, he also laid
down ; I heard him l^egin to snore. Instantly I went to work,
and as my arms were perfectly dead with the cord, I laid my-
self down upon my right arm which was behind my back, and
keeping it fast with my fingers, which had still some life and
srrength, 1 slipped the cord from my left arm over my elbow
and my wrist. One of the warriors now got up and stirred
the fire. 1 was apprehensive that I should be examined, and
thought it was over with me, but my hopes revived when now
he lay down again. I then attempted to unloose the rope
about my neck; trie<l to gnaw it, but it was in vain, as it was
as thick as my thumb and as hard as iron, being made of a
buffalo hide. I wrought with it a long time, gave it out, and
could see no relief. At this time 1 saw daybreak and heard the
cock crow. I made a second attempt, almost without ho|>e,
pulling the rope by putting my fingers l>etween ray neck and
it, and to my great surprise it came easily untied. It wan a
noose with two or three knots tied over it.
1 slipi>ed over the warriors as they lay, and having got out
of the house, looked back to see if there was any disturbance.
I then ran through the town into a corn field; in my way I
saw a squaw with four or five children lying asleep under a
tree. Going in a different way into the field, I untied my arm,
which was greatly swollen and turned black. Having ol>served
a number of horses in the glade as I ran through it, I went
l>ack to catch one, and on my way found a piece of an old rug
or quilt hanging on a fence, which I took with me. Having
caught the horse, the rope with which I had been tied served
for a halter, I rode off. The horse was strong and swift, and
the woods being of>en and the country level, about ten o'clock
that day I crossed the Se.ioto river at a place, by computation,
fifty full miles from the town. I had rode about twenty-five
miles on this side of the Scioto by three o'clock in the after-
noon, when the horse began to fail, and could no longer go on
a trot. 1 instantly left him, and on foot, ran about twenty
miles farther that day, making in the whole the distance of
near one hundred miles. In the evening I heard hallooing be-
hind me, and for this reason did not halt until about ten o'clock
at night, when I sat down, was extremely sick and vomited ;
but when the moon rose, which might have been al>out two
hours after, I went on and traveled until day.
During the night I had a path, but in the morning judged
it prudent to forsake the path and take a ridge for a distance
of fifteen miles, in a line at right angles to my course, putting

have sought repentance for my sins; but though I had often
heard of the faith of assurance, had known nothing of it ; but
early this day, instantaneously by a change wrought ui)on an^
sudden and preceivable as lightning, an assurance of niy peace
made with God, sprung up in mind. The following words
were the subject of my meditation— '^ In peace thou shalt see
God. Fear not those who can kill the boily. In i>eace shalt
thou dei)art.** I was on this occasion by a confidence in mind
not to be resisted, fully assured of my salvation. This being
the case I was willing, satisfied and glad to die.
I was tied to the post, as I have already said, and the fiamc
was now kindled. The day was clear, not a cloud to be seen.
If there were clouds low in the horizon, the sides of the house
prevente<1 me from seeing them, but I heard no thunder, or
observed any sign of approaching rain ; just as the fire of one
pile began to blaze, the wind rose, from the time they began
to kindle the fire and to tie me to the post, until the wind
began to blow, was about fifteen minutes. The wind blew a
hurricane, and the rain followed in less than three minutes.
The rain fell violent ; and the fire, though it began to blaze
considerably, was instantly extinguished. The rain lasted
about a quarter of an hour.
When it was over the savages stood amazed, and were a
longtime silent. At last one said, we will let him alone till
morning, and take a whole day's frolic in burning him. The
sun at this time was about tliree hours high. It was agreed
upon, and the rope about my neck was untied, and making me
sit clown, they began to dance around me. They continued
dancing in this manner until eleven o'clock at night ; in the
meantime, beating, kicking and wounding me with their ton:-
ahawks and clubsw*
At last one of the warriors, the Half Moon, asked me if 1
was sleepy? I answered, yes. The head warrior then chose out
t hree warriors to take care of me. I was taken to a block liouse ;
my arms were tied until the cord was hid in the flesh, they were
tied in two places, round the wrist and above the elbows. A
rope was fastened alx)ut my neck and tied to a beam of the
house, but permitting me to lie down on a board. The three
warriors were constantly harassing and troubling me, saying,
•*How will you like to eat fire to morrow— you will kill no more
Indians now." I was in expectation of their going to sleep.
*I observed marks on the man when I saw him, which was eight
or ten days after he came in, particularly a wound above his right eye-
brow, which he hud receive<l with the pipe end of a tomahawk; but
his back and body generally had been injured. H. B.

hack as I went alon^^, with u 8tick» the weedH which I had hent,
lest I should !)e tracked hy tlie enemy. I lay the next night
on the waters of Muskingum; the nettles had been trouble-
Kome to me after my crossing the Scioto, having nothing to
defend myself but the piece of a rug which 1 had found and
which while I rode I used under me by way o.f a saddle ; the
briars and thorns were now jmiuful too, and prevented me from
traveling in the night until the moon appeareil. In the mean-
time I was prevented from sleeping by the mosquitoes, for even
in the day I was under the necessity of traveling with a hand-
ful of bushes to brush them from my body
The second night I reached Cushakin, next day came to
Newcomer's town, where I got about seven raspberries, which
were the first thing I ate from the morning on which the In-
dians had taken me to f>urn me until this time, which was now
about three o'clock the fourth day. I felt hungry very little,
but was extremely weak. I swam Muskingum river at Old-
comer's town, the river being two hundred yards wide ; having
reached the bank, I sat down, looked back and thought I ha<l
a start of the Indians if any should pursue. That evening I
traveledabout five miles; next day came to Stillwater, a small
river, in a branch of which I got two small crawfish to eat.
Next night I lay within five miles of Wheeling, but had not slept
a wink during this whole time, being rendered impossible by
the mosquitoes, which it was my constant employment to
brush away. Next day canie to Wheeling, and saw a man on
the island in the Ohio opposite to that |>ost, and calling to him
and asking for particular persons who had been on the expedi-
tion, and telling him I was Slover, at length, with great diffi-
culty, he was persuaded to come over and bring me across in
his canoe.
At the same time, though I would strike away this excuse
which is urged for the savages, I am far from approving the
Moravian slaughter. Doubtless the existence of that body of
people in our neighborhoo<l, was of disadvantage, as they were
under the necessity of receiving and refusing the Sandusky
savages as they came to war, and as they returned, and as no
doubt some amongst them communicated intelligence of any
expedition on foot against the enemy. 1 am also disposed to
believe that the greater pari of the men put to death were
warriors-; this appears from the testimony of one against
another, from the confession of many, from their singing the
war song when ordered out to be tomahawked, from the cut
and painting of their hair, and from other circumstances. The
greater part of the Moravian men who were really peaceable or
of the act, has not yet been called to an account, is a
to the State of Pennsylvania.

wil,liamso:n^'s expedition.
[The oanses which led to the expedition of the Washington
militia against the Moravian Indians on the Muskingum, were
the frequent murderous marauds by either these or their sav-
age allies whom they harbored. History has frequently re-
peated the story of Gnadenhutten, where the innocent suffers
for the guilty. It is not our purpose to extenuate or censure
the Pioneers of Western Pennsylvania, who in their efforts
to secure peaceful homes, found the necessity to exterminate
the red man prowling on the frontiers. The list of men who
were upon the expedition is far from complete, as there were
at least a force of one hundred and sixty men under the lead
of the brave Williamson. ]
